Ukrainian defenders of Azovstal became the heroes of new LEGO figures
Ukrainian defenders of Azovstal became the heroes of new LEGO figures. The first pictures were published by Andrew Beecraft, the founder of the company The Brothers Brick, which is one of the retailers of LEGO and is known for creating ‘military’ constructors.
The @DefenceU Marines, @ng_ukraine guards, @TDF_UA volunteers, and other #AzovstalDefenders who held out in Mariupol for nearly 3 months, bogging down the 🇷🇺 army and allowing 🇺🇦 to win the Battle of Kyiv.

‘The marines of the Ministry of Defense, soldiers of the National Guard of Ukraine, volunteers of the TRO and other defenders of Azovstal, who held Mariupol for almost three months, delayed the advance of the Russian army and helped Ukraine win the battle for Kyiv,’ Bikraft captioned the photo.
Among the figurines, you can recognize the commander of the ‘Azov’ regiment, Denis Prokopenko, his deputy, Svyatoslav Palamar (call sign ‘Kalyna’) and Chief of Staff Bohdan Krotevych (call sign ‘Tavr’).
Ukrainian paramedics and military journalist Ilya Ponomarenko will also be in the new collection.
