According to the Defense Ministry’s website, the exhibition will present military equipment, armaments and ammunition used by Russian regular units and illegal armed formations in the battles against Ukrainian government forces in eastern Ukraine.

“The exhibition will graphically demonstrate Russia’s support of militants and the Russian army’s direct involvement in the conflict in Donetsk and Luhansk regions,” the ministry reported.

The Defense Ministry of Ukraine is directly participating in the preparation of the exhibition, in particular by providing heavy equipment captured on the frontline for the public to view.
