BERLIN: A permanent exhibition about the Ukraine war opens at a former Nazi bunker in Berlin on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion Tuesday, to encourage continued support for Kyiv.
Weapons, other objects brought back from the front lines and testimonies from the conflict have been collected by the Berlin Story Bunker, a museum housed in a former World War II air raid shelter in the German capital.
The aim is to raise public awareness about the “physical reality” of the conflict, museum curator Wieland Giebel told AFP.
The Ukrainian section is being added to the existing permanent exhibitions focusing on Nazism and Germany from 1945 to the present day.
“Visitors to Germany can’t really imagine what war is like — we want to show it to them,” said Giebel, standing in front of the huge entrance to the bunker, built in 1943.
