Police officers remove the flag of Ukraine from a historical tank at the Soviet Memorial on June 17 Street
POLICE removed Ukrainian flags from two Russian tanks at the Soviet Memorial in the German capital Berlin today, the second such incident so far this week.
It is believed that the yellow and blue ensigns had been draped over the iconic T-34 tanks in protest against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began last month.
No damage had been caused, a police spokesman said, and the flags were easily removed. No further action will be taken, a statement added.
