#Ukraine: Russian media showed videos of equipment "captured from the Ukrainian army in Lysychansk pocket".
However not everything is that simple: some vehicles have nothing to with Lysychansk and all shown were captured in #Luhansk Oblast over past months.

The first tank, a Ukrainian T-72AV was captured in the vicinity of Sievierodonetsk, Luhansk Oblast recently.
The second tank, a Ukrainian T-64BV, has no matches with tanks captured before, so we believe it is new.

Note that it seems the vehicles were repainted a little in order to paint over Russian tactical signs (Z,V,O) and names of units who captured the vehicle; these were usually drawn on at the point of capture.

In videos shared we also counted at least 6 BMP-1, 3 BMP-2 and BRM-1K infantry fighting vehicles which belonged to the Ukrainian army. Very little of them could be seen to identify if they were seen previously, but as in the case of the tanks, all were captured in Luhansk Oblast.

A Ukrainian armored KrAZ cargo truck, AT105A Saxon and two Varta armored infantry mobility vehicles were also captured by the Russian forces. One of Vartas has a V tactical sign, however there is no matching previously captured examples.
