Kyiv, February 22 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Mikhailov) – On Mikhailovskaya Square in the center of Kyiv, on the initiative of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, an exhibition “Presence” was opened, which showcases weapons seized by the Ukrainian military in Donbass. Thus, the Ukrainian authorities want to once again prove the Russian presence in the war in Ukraine, said NSDC Secretary Alexander Turchynov, speaking at the opening of the exhibition.

“We are dealing not only with a cruel, but also with a very insidious and deceitful aggressor, who tells at all levels, using powerful means of propaganda, that they are not fighting against Ukraine. But here you see weapons and armored vehicles that were captured by our military in the Donbass,” Turchinov said.
Samples of captured equipment were delivered from the front lines with the assistance of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. In addition to this, the exhibition presents the bodies of two cars that were burned during the recent shelling of Mariupol, and the body of the Smerch projectile, which, according to the organizers, was brought from Kramatorsk.
The exhibition aroused great interest among Kiev residents. On the opening day, several thousand people were at the exhibition at the same time. People read signs, took photographs of exhibits, and children climbed on military equipment. Propaganda videos were shown in four containers that acted as mini-pavilions, and samples of captured small arms and food products were displayed on stands.
