Military bases with a permanent location in the northern regions had these vehicles at their disposal. They were deployed with the first echelons of the Russian offensive.

The verified photos and videos from open sources indicate that more than 70 tanks have been seized by the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war. For better understanding, it is more than two tank battalions.

As Defense Express reported, the Russian invasion has started on February 24, 2022. Russia announced the "special military operation" and began bombarding the cities of Ukraine.
