Perhaps they should have held on to them: Hundreds of rusting tanks abandoned in secret Ukrainian depot unveiled as Russia's armoured vehicles line its streets


  • There are more than 400 abandoned tanks at the plant in a secret, heavily guarded depot in the town of Kharkiv
  • The depot is in the Slobozhanshchyna region of eastern Ukraine - just 20 miles from the border with Russia
  • Photographer Pavel Itkin, 18, was able to sneak into the heavily monitored site without being spotted by guards
  • He spent two hours walking around the barely-used repair centre taking photographs of old tanks and engines
