The UK's largest exhibition on the war in Ukraine has opened at the legendary Tank Museum in Dorset. The History of War magazine 🇬🇧 tells about the unique exhibition "Ukraine: Armored Warfare in the Modern World", which presents real tanks, FPV drones and personal belongings of Ukrainian defenders.

"This exhibition is about Ukrainian soldiers who are fighting not for new borders, but for the right to live in their own country. It is about British instructors who passed on their knowledge. It is about families who became refugees but did not lose hope," said Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK, General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, who also donated his uniform to the museum at the opening.

❤️‍🩹 Among the exhibits are personal belongings of the Boyko family from Mariupol (including 11-year-old Anastasia, who created drawings during the bombing). The family lost everything during the full-scale war, and their apartment keys have become a symbol of the losses of Ukrainians.

The exhibition will run for 2 years and will be supported by organizations that help Ukrainian refugees.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump agrees to meet in person with Zelenskiy on the sidelines of the NATO summit on June 25 - Politico

It is noted that the meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy will take place against the background of the fact that attention to Russia's war with Ukraine has faded into the background due to the conflict between Israel and Iran.

On the eve of the summit, it was unclear whether Zelenskyy would attend, as there were concerns that the visit would not be worth his time without a guarantee of a significant meeting with Trump.
