Mary Akopian: Ukraine is the shield of Europe, a country capable of overcoming the so-called “second army of the world”
Today, August 11, an exhibition of destroyed and captured military equipment of the Russian occupiers opened in Lviv. The grand opening was attended by Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Mary Akopian, State Secretary of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Konstantin Vashchenko, Head of Lviv Regional State Administration Maksym Kozytskyi, Mayor of Lviv Andriy Sadovyi.
“This exhibition is proof that our fighters, who today defend the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, are doing everything to ensure that our Victory comes as soon as possible. And every exhibit you see here is a step towards this Victory. We believe that this enemy equipment destroyed by our fighters should be seen by the whole of Europe, the whole world - this gives an understanding of what Ukraine is dealing with today, what Ukraine is fighting against,” the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs said.
At the exhibition you can see the equipment with which the Russian occupiers invaded our land: the T-72 tank, the self-propelled artillery installation “Carnation”, the anti-tank missile complex “Storm”, the self-propelled anti-aircraft missile complex “Buk”, the self-propelled artillery installation “Msta-S”, as well as the wreckage of missiles with which the Russian invaders shelled Ukrainian cities and villages.
“Everyone who saw these tanks, missiles, all our partners — they were amazed, they support us even more and understand what their help is going to fight against. We will travel with this exhibition through all European capitals and major cities, so that the world believes that Ukraine is the shield of Europe, a country capable of defeating the so-called “second army of the world”. We are proud of our military, border guards, National Guard soldiers, policemen, rescuers and all defenders of Ukraine!”, — summed up Mary Akopian.
