While Vladimir Putin showed off columns of tanks in Red Square, the reality on the ground in Ukraine is that hundreds of his mangled military vehicles are now rusting in fields after his botched attempt to capture Kyiv.
The Daily Mail discovered a vast ‘tank graveyard’ full of charred military hardware yesterday in Bucha, a middle-class suburb 20 miles from the capital, which was the scene of fierce battles and the mass murder of civilians by Russian forces before they made a humiliating retreat.

Ukraine’s military estimates it has destroyed 1,145 tanks and 2,764 armoured fighting vehicles since Russia invaded on February 24.
One destroyed Russian BTR armoured personnel carrier in Bucha had half-melted ration packs containing meat paste and a tin of goulash with ‘made in Russia’ written on the sticky label.

Nearby there were also dozens of ordinary family cars riddled with bullet holes, including a red Mitsubishi Colt which still had its occupants’ bloodied clothes inside.
‘I remember seeing this car on the main road with the bodies of two elderly people lying next to it,’ said Anatolii, 44, a gym instructor from Bucha, who was among locals visiting the site yesterday.
He said that Putin’s invaders ‘did not care about people’s lives,’ adding: ‘They killed people for absolutely nothing.’
