"#Putin still denying #Russia's troops & hardware are in #Ukraine. Here's a guide to help the #Kremlin spot its tanks," said a post on the @UKinUkraine Twitter feed.
Attached was a graphic featuring the logo of Britain's Foreign Office showing how to identify a T-72BM Russian tank plus pictures showing sightings of the same tanks "not used by Ukrainian military", in Ukraine.
