Pictures from Moscow’s Victory Park, which commemorates Russia’s victory against Nazi Germany, show rows of Western military vehicles “captured by Russian servicemen”.
Putin flaunts his military might at the West by showcasing 30 tanks and other pieces of war equipment captured during the war.
A British Saxon armoured personnel carrier, donated to Ukraine in 2015, can be seen pictured under the red banners that proudly claim “Our victory is inevitable”.
An American Bradley tank, a Swedish CV90 and a French-made AMX-10RC armoured fighting vehicle can all be seen riddled with bullet holes.
The military vehicles also spot the flags of their respective countries, including Turkey, Sweden, Czech Republic, South Africa, Finland, Australia and Austria.
Alongside weapons, the month-long exhibition features Ukrainian combat documents and “ideological literature”.
Russia blows its own trumpet with the showcase aimed to celebrate its success “against Ukrainian militants and their Western supporters”.
Ahead of its May 1st opening, trucks bearing military hardware – donated from Nato to the Armed Forces of Ukraine – were spotted pulling up to the open-air museum.
Putin shows off his trophies in light of the Victory Day parade which is held annually to celebrate the country’s victory in World War 2.
The May 9th celebrations are usually used by the warmonger to showcase the might of the Russian military machine and boost national pride.
But this year, many regional parades have been scrapped over fears of Ukrainian kamikaze drone attacks.
Ukraine is ramping up its military arsenal as the US has now approved £49billion military aid to strengthen the 600-mile frontline.
Among the donations is a “game changing” long-range ballistic missiles which can hit targets anywhere and could leave Russian troops “terrified”.
But experts fear that the fresh ammunition could send Putin into an unpredictable spiral.
A former US ambassador issued a chilling warning that reckless Putin is deadly serious about “confronting the West” and could even resort to the use of nukes.
Frank G. Wisner, who served under President Bill Clinton, lashed out at Putin and described the Russian tyrant as “extraordinarily reckless”.
