Vandals tramped, on Sunday, all over flower tributes covering a destroyed Russian tank outside the Russian embassy in Berlin, despite the presence of German police.

A German passer-by told Sputnik that "those who destroy flowers cannot be good people. Apparently, they want there to be war in Berlin again."

Social media footage revealed that some German citizens flocked again to the tank wreck to lay flowers for the second time after the vandalization.

In a statement on Twitter, the Russian embassy in Berlin thanked the activists who laid flowers on the tank wreck saying: "We thank everyone, including our compatriots in Germany, who laid flowers at the Russian tank. From now on, this stands for the fight against neo-Nazism in Ukraine."

On Saturday, a "Peace Protest" organized by Die Linke, Germany's left-wing party, was held in Berlin. Sahra Wagenknecht, a member of the German Bundestag, accused, during a speech at the rally, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz of dragging the nation deeper into the Ukrainian conflict and said "We do not feel represented by a chancellor who… repeatedly bows down to warmongers in his coalition and crosses one red line after another… We do not want German tanks to shoot at grandchildren of Russian women and men, millions of whom were slaughtered by the Wehrmacht."

Berliners attempting to replace destroyed flowers on the tank were prevented from doing so by Wieland Giebel of the Berlin Story Bunker museum.

Giebel had assisted in transporting the tank to Berlin last year in order for it to be displayed in front of the Russian embassy on the eve of February 24, 2023.

It was reported that Giebel erected a barrier around his "exhibit," provocatively declaring that there would be no flowers if Ukrainians did not want them.
