The fountain – a monument was created in 2009 for the Donbass Arena, where Donetsk FC Shakhtar played home matches.
The Russian invaders brought the iconic ball fountain to Moscow, which once adorned the square near the Donbass Arena in Donetsk. A video from the center of Moscow with the monument on Saturday, September 10, was posted on Telegram.
The Russians took the ball fountain and brought it to the capital of Russia for the celebration of Moscow-Donbass, dedicated to the day of the city.
Residents of Moscow take a photo with the Ukrainian monument.
The thirty-ton giant was created by German workers from a special breed of granite (Tittlinger). Its diameter is more than 2.7 meters. The gray surface elements are polished granite, while the black ones are sandblasted and coated with acrylic. The ball stand is not small either: with a diameter of 360 cm and a weight of 12.5 tons. The granite ball can be rotated under the pressure of two water jets. The rotation is carried out due to water pressure and thanks to a perfect round shape.
It will be recalled that the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated approximately 2,000 kilometers of occupied territories since early September during the counter-offensive.
