Once-bustling highways on the outskirts of Kyiv have now become a graveyard for scores of Vladimir Putin's tanks as the Ukrainians continue their successful counterattacks around the capital.
Columns of Russian armoured vehicles have been reduced to rubble as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's troops continue to repel Russian forces, and in some instances recapture roads and settlements near to Kyiv.
As Ukrainian units advance, they're met with burned-out tanks and heavily-armoured personnel transport vehicles that line the roads once populated by commuters that would have been heading in or out of the capital.
But far more grisly finds are being discovered in the villages and towns in Kyiv's urban sprawl. After recapturing Bucha from the Russian forces, Ukrainian troops found the bodies of 20 men in civilian clothes on a single street.
In what could be further evidence of Russian war crimes, eyewitnesses said one of the corpses had his hands tied, with the dead bodies strewn all over residential roads in the suburban town that was once home to 28,000 people.
President Zelensky warned Moscow's retreating forces are leaving behind 'catastrophic' situations by mining the areas outside their homes, abandoning their ruined equipment and the 'bodies of those killed'.

Or not
Those old vehicles are pretty rusty for a conflict that hasn’t been going on for very long.
A month ago, the media was celebrating civilians taking up arms, now they’re lamenting the inevitable result.
That “rust” is what happens when the aluminum parts of an armored vehicle burn, leaving the steel. One night of rain gives you rust after that.
Have you noticed the flames when a tank turret is popped off of the hull after an ATGM strike? At least the crew doesn’t feel it for long.
$*** stirring trash tabloid.
I can see dirt-celeb wardrobe fails right next to the “columns” of destroyed tanks...which are three rusty unidentifiable vehicles.
No proof anyone was tied or shot....just ....duh..pissss....moannnnn look, WAR CRIMES WARC RIMES.
Anything to get the idiocracy worked up.
Here is the aftermath of the #Russian occupation of the village of Velyka Dymerka in the #Brovary district of the #Kyiv province. Russian soldiers also killed dogs there.

“Those old vehicles are pretty rusty for a conflict that hasn’t been going on for very long.”
Because the Russian generals have been gun decking their readiness reports for decades and stealing everything that wasn’t nailed down. I’m surprised any of it is running at all.
Their equipment is crap, their troops are poorly trained undisciplined peasants, and their logistical tail is easy pickings for every pissed off Ukrainian with a rifle.
I hope not a single one of those bastards makes it home in one piece.

Really? Have you never seen a burned out car right after the fire or even 24 hours afterwards?
Ukraine has had a tank graveyard since 2012 at least. 🤔
