  • Russia appears to be dusting off its T-54 tanks, first deployed more than 70 years ago.
  • Images from a monitoring group showed the tanks moving through Russia closer to Ukraine.

Russia has taken tanks from the 1940s out of storage, according to new images from a monitoring group, as it continues to lose large numbers of tanks in Ukraine.
