Sculpture of Putin riding a tank appears in US park, pics show kids playing with it

A red-coloured sculpture of Russian President Vladimir Putin riding a miniature war tank has been installed in a playground in New York City's famous Central Park. French artist James Colomina took credit for the sculpture and said, "[It] aims at denouncing the absurdity of war and at highlighting children's courage." Colomina had previously installed similar sculptures in Barcelona and Paris.
