Ukrainian officials held a display of destroyed enemy armor to mock the Russians, who they said intended a victory parade as a show of strength.
According to the Ukrainian news site Ukrainian Pravda, the Russians planned a military parade in the Ukrainian capital that they were wrong about. According to the Telegraph, some Russian officers had prepared uniforms for the event.
In order to celebrate Independence Day on August 24, the Ukrainian authorities displayed dozens of burnt-out, captured Russian tanks and military vehicles in two long lines on Khreshchatyk boulevard.
Ukrainian families enjoyed a day out on Saturday, wandering among the lines of captured armor and inspecting burned out war machines. People took selfies with children using them as climbing frames.
The display is a reminder to all dictators that their plans may be ruined by a free and brave nation.
