🇺🇦 Like me you've probably seen these pictures of #Marinka in #Ukraine.

What used to be a lively city has now been decimated, turned to dust and requires talking in past tense.

But where do they come from? Who took them? 👇
First hint is the watermark in the bottom right-hand corner: a #Telegram link and the name of a group.

T. ME/TANKIST4
Танкисты ЮВО

This translates to "Tankers of the Southern Military District" (=Южный Военный Округ)
Considering that the images were mostly shared on Twitter by Ukrainian or "Western" journalists, one thing I found odd was that the images were taken by Russians 🇷🇺 because:

1) They use Russian Cyrillic and not the Ukrainian variant
2) The tankers of the ЮВО are Russian
