In pics: Damaged Russian military equipment on display in Prague
War trophies on display
On Letna Plain, a sizable open area close to the Prague Castle, the display of war trophies was displayed. The exhibition includes a damaged T-90 tank, a Buk air defence system, and a Msta howitzer, the BBC reported.
The war is closer than what Russia thinks
IIia Kuczynski, a volunteer from Kyiv, stated that the main goal of the exhibition is "to show to Europe that the war is closer than they think."
Need for such exhibitions
A spectator from Prague, Jiri Plocek, scooped up his son to make him see the interior of the damaged Russian military system.
He further said, that such exhibitions are necessary because "People have to see what Russians are about and what they are currently able to cause," Reuters reported.

Czech Republic supports Ukraine
Although Czechs continue to support Ukraine strongly, others are concerned about the ripple impact of rising energy and food prices brought on by the conflict.
There are worries that enthusiasm for the conflict may eventually wane both here in the Czech Republic and across Europe, the BBC reported.
Russia’s special military operation
Putin refers to the crisis, which is the biggest to affect Europe, as a "special military operation" whose goal is to demilitarise Ukraine.
Recently, in eastern Ukraine, a missile strike devastated an apartment building, killing 24 people.
