In a historical precedent that did not occur in the Netherlands and Western Europe 75 years ago and the end of World War II in 1945
A destroyed Ukrainian tank in the war with Russia was displayed in the center of Amsterdam's largest square, Leidseplein.

From the end of May to the 4th of June 2023
With the aim of introducing the public and the Dutch to the tragedies of the devastating war that broke out on 24/2/2022, almost a year and a half ago.
The cities of Ukraine were destroyed with a quarter of a million civilian and military deaths
One million injured, along with 15 million refugees who fled to the borders with Romania, Moldavia and Poland
He avoided the borders of Belarus, an ally of Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin
Who nibbled eastern Ukraine in Donbass, Donetsk, Luhansk-Zaporogia, four regions (out of 24 oblasts) and annexed them to the Russian Federation (the largest country in the world with an area of 17 million km)
After America differentiated between the "Orthodox Christian" brothers of religion, history and one homeland for 250 years, from Tsarist Russia through the Soviet Union, and they were comrades-in-arms until the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the capital of Poland, which turned itself into a member of the NATO military alliance hostile to Russia.
Poland has become the largest supplier of weapons to Ukraine, despite Ukraine's attempt to implicate NATO in the war by bombing Poland's borders with missiles and trying to attach it to the Russian army.
We were on the brink of the last world war
The Netherlands had sent a shipment of weapons to Ukraine through the Dutch Ministry of Defense, 200 "Stinger" anti-aircraft missiles, 50 anti-tank missiles, along with 400 missiles, 100 sniper rifles, 30 thousand rounds, and two submersibles to detect underwater mines.
Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark have sent over 100 refurbished Leopard tanks
Ukraine also received the first batches of Moroccan army tanks in the framework of an "exchange" agreement with the United States of America
Accordingly, the Kingdom of Morocco will give up 90 to 120 pieces in exchange for obtaining other, more modern and sophisticated mechanisms, benefiting from the guarantees of its American ally,
But that would make it the second largest exporter of tanks to Ukraine during the war, after Poland.
America also provided its ally, Ukraine, with F16 fighter planes, on the condition that it does not strike Russian lands, meaning that it only defends its territories occupied by Russia.
The Iranian drones had transformed the Russian war in Ukraine
However, along with its European and American allies, it was equipped with Israeli drones that struck civilian targets in the former Ukrainian “Russian” Crimea until 2014.
When Russia annexed it against the will of Barack Obama, then US President
While his successor from the Democratic Party, Joe Biden, had visited the capital, Kiev, and toured it with President Zelensky
Will this absurd war end with the election of a Republican president for America, and perhaps the return of Donald Trump, “Putin’s friend”?
After America accused the Russians of interfering in the US elections in 2016
The cost of the war in Ukraine exceeded three trillion dollars, more than the costs of America's wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and even Korea
America aims to exhaust Russia to repeat the scenario of Afghanistan in 1979
But what happened is the exact opposite after the collapse of the global economy and the entry of America itself into a stage of recession and the emergence of a global food crisis after a shortage of grain and wheat supplies, high oil prices, and a terrible rise in inflation and prices for energy and food commodities in Europe and the world.
The only beneficiaries are the American arms factories, of course
There was much talk about the spring battle from Russia in Ukraine, but it arrived in the Netherlands through this devastating Ukrainian tank a month after the outbreak of the war, which weighs 44 tons of iron and was flown 6200 km from the bloody war arena to the center of Amsterdam, the capital of rain.
With the flags of Ukraine, which raised all the institutions of the Dutch state and the countries of Europe as a whole, even in local football matches and in the European League
In conclusion, the Russian Wagner forces appeared in the war in Ukraine and other places such as Syria and Libya, just as the American Blackwater was in Iraq and Afghanistan as well.
If the heads are equal between the Russian Federation and the eastern camp with the West, who have served the delivery of democracy on American tanks with the Yankee forces and the Marines defending freedom and those who have always called themselves the "free" world.
