Parade of destroyed Russian tanks in Kyiv in pictures

These images show destroyed Russian military vehicles located on a street in Kyiv as the country marks its independence from Soviet rule today.

Authorities in the capital have banned large-scale gatherings until Thursday, fearing the national holiday might bring particularly heavy Russian missile attacks.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged the public to be vigilant.
