In Estonia, they probably began to refuse to show the Russian T-72 tank.

HELSINKI, 1 March – RIA Novosti. Estonian cities are starting to refuse to display the toppled, possibly Russian tank, the Estonian state broadcast portal ERR reported on Wednesday.

The Estonian Ministry of Defense and the Estonian War Museum, in collaboration with their Ukrainian counterparts, brought a damaged T-72 tank to Estonia as a museum exhibit and placed it on Freedom Square in central Tallinn. The tank, which will remain in Freedom Square until March 2, is planned to be exhibited in other cities of the country and placed in the Estonian War Museum in the village of Viimsi, near Tallinn. Tallinn residents bring flowers to the tank, but a security company employee immediately removes them.

The embassy in Berlin commented on the provocation with a tank near its walls.

“Several cities immediately doubt that they are ready for the arrival of a resounding exhibition. The city of Rakvere said that they did not expect a military vehicle in the pre-election period, and the mayor of Narva now thought it was wrong. Jõhvi city took a wait and see position,” the message reads.

According to Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur, possible transport of the tank from Tallinn to other cities continues to be discussed with local authorities.

On February 25, pro-Ukrainian activists set up another wrecked tank in central Berlin and pointed their guns at the Russian diplomatic mission. They hoped to hold an event in support of the Ukrainian troops, but residents of the German capital foiled their plans. Many of those who arrived chanted peacefully and placed flowers on the war vehicle to protest the arms supply to Kiev. The same step was taken by those who participated in the biggest demonstration of recent years against the escalating conflict in Ukraine at the end of last week. Later, the supporters of the action tried to remove the flowers in police custody, but met with opposition. People continued to carry flowers even after they were removed. On Monday, the Russian embassy in Germany described the action by pro-Ukrainian activists with a tank as a useless provocation due to the reaction of the city’s residents.
