Tanks painted in white-blue-red marks were destroyed near Izyum in Kharkiv region. Such tanks take part in tank competitions.

Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to the head of the President’s Office, spoke about this on a telethon.

-At first, they threw two training centers there, which were destroyed. Now they have thrown tanks from sports military-applied competitions, which took part in international tank festivals and exhibitions, etc.

As you can see, “Z” on the equipment is no longer a stencil, but a quick mark. This means that they pay a lot of attention to Izyum, try to surround our area from the north, but are defeated there again and again.

Arestovych added that a russian bomber, painted in sports colors as well as tanks, had been shot down over Izyum the day before.

On March 18, russian troops tried to advance near the city of Izyum, but training units of the russian armed forces were stopped by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In Izyum, the russians threw into battle training units of the russian armed forces, which were defeated.
