The Truth Behind Russia's Victory Day Tank and Ukraine Connection.
TL;DR Summary
A tweet by a Ukrainian news site claimed that the only tank displayed during Russia's Victory Day parade was manufactured in Ukraine. While early designs of the T-34 tank were produced in Kharkiv, Ukraine, during World War 2, the tank used during the parade was likely made in the Russian city of Nizhny Tagil, according to an expert on Russian tank technology. Most of the T-34 tanks in Russia are no longer functional and are used as war memorials.
