The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced plans to transfer captured Russian T-72 tanks to museums in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Denmark, and the Netherlands, according to UATV English reports. The Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers approved a mechanism enabling destroyed and captured Russian military equipment to be transferred to foreign museums at no cost for display purposes.
The captured or seized T-72 tanks, obtained during Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion, will be handed over to museums in these five European nations for exhibition. The Ministry of Defense stated that the tanks have been rendered inoperable and contain no explosive components, making them safe for visitors. The initiative was jointly launched by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Culture, aiming to provide international audiences with factual information about Russia's war against Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials believe the exhibits will promote cultural diplomacy and cooperation between Ukrainian and European museums. The move comes after Ukraine launched its state TrophyLab platform, granting access to captured Russian military equipment for weapons research and analysis.
