The Uman City Council unanimously decided to transfer the Soviet T-34 tank and cannon, which were previously monuments, for use by soldiers of the National Guard of Ukraine.
They were removed in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On the condemnation of the communist and national-socialist (Nazi) totalitarian regimes in Ukraine and the prohibition of propaganda of their symbols."
"I am convinced that the equipment will be useful to our warrior-defenders. I thank all the deputies present for their unanimous support! We are working for Victory and support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!", - writes the mayor of Uman Irina Pletneva on Facebook .
Rusia also began to use T-34 tanks in battle in Ukraine. Recently, The Russian film company Mosfilm has donated fifty pieces of military equipment stored in warehouses to the needs of the Russian occupation forces.
The statement was made by Mosfilm CEO Karen Shakhnazarov during a meeting with Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin.
He detailed that in 2023, the film company handed over 28 T-55 tanks, eight PT-76 amphibious light tanks, six armored personnel carriers, and eight tractors to the Russian armed forces.
This equipment was used as a prop for filming movies and TV shows and also used as entertainment for tourists; it was stored at the Mosfilm facility in the town of Krasnoznamensk near Moscow.
It is worth noting that as of today, PT-76 amphibious light tanks have not been spotted in the combat zone, but given the growing shortage of armored vehicles in the Russian Armed Forces and the decommissioning of other outdated armored vehicles, such as the BTR-50, this is quite possible.
The Russian army is actively using Soviet T-55/T-54 medium tanks in combat operations against the Armed Forces of Ukraine as artillery, fire support vehicles, and infantry transport.
It should be reminded that the return of T-54 and T-55 tanks to service for the Russian army was announced in March 2023.
At that time, the Conflict Intelligence Team published photos of a train with these tanks heading from the far eastern part of Russia.
