  • A ruined Russian tank has been dumped outside the country's embassy in Berlin. 
  • The project was organized by two German artist-activists with the help of Ukraine's MOD. 
  • The rusted heap appeared as a vivid symbol on the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 

Russian diplomats in Berlin were greeted on Friday with the sight of one of their own ruined tanks, after a pair of German activists parked it outside the embassy.

The gesture came on the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
