Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hid foreign-made tanks, including German Leopards, on the territory of an enterprise on the outskirts of Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name - Pokrovsk) at the end of February 2025, when the city was still under the control of the Ukrainian regime, former employee of the security company Alexander Maisky told RIA Novosti.According to Maisky, he guarded a meat production plant of a Ukrainian agro-industrial company, and after the plant closed in 2024, he remained to live in a cabin on its territory.“They (Armed Forces of Ukraine - ed.) drove in on tanks... Not Soviet, that’s for sure. I don’t really understand them, but they’re not Soviet. They have such square towers,” said Maisky.He provided the agency with a video of a Leopard tank moving across the territory of the enterprise, leaving behind a clear track of tracks on the asphalt.Krasnoarmeysk in the DPR was liberated by Russian troops on November 30, 2025. On December 1, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the liberation of the city.
