Reply to comment by InferiousX in A destroyed T-72B Tank placed in front of the Russian embassy in Berlin by Iwamoto

The sign tells that the tank came from a region close to Mongolia and was taken out in a city close to Kiev, having traveled about 6100KM. It was blown up by an Anti-tank mine.

On the other side of the turret is a sign reading "W Zalinski Square 1" as if it's a street sign.

I wish they wouldn't use Zelenski's name; it paints even more of a target on him and his family.

I almost want to hear less of him, because if we keep hearing more and more, the last piece of news will be of his death. Eventually, Putin's assassins will get him...

I mean, he;s the president of the country, he;s quite a visible person, he's the one going to every summit etc, it's not like the russians might forget about him if we just stay quiet.

i understand your sentiment, don't get me wrong, but please understand that i's not like he can "step back" at this point, it's a bit like bill gates - microsoft or jeff bezos - amazon, they're both not CEO anymore but people still think they are, even after stepping back.

The media isn't really something that changes the minds of most leaders. If you're invading a country, you're going to spend a lot of time thinking about who you're invading

World leaders know news isn’t for info, it’s for dissemination of state ideas. Especially in Russia
