T-80BV in Ukraine?

Would it be feasible to incorporate a T-80BV in a current Ukraine conflict diorama,
either as a Russian or Ukrainian vehicle? Similarly, would this particular tank have been
present in the 2014 conflict?

There have been T-80BV’s used by the Russian forces but I’m not sure if the Ukrainians have put any captured examples into their own service. I don’t think there were any T-80 variants being used by either side back in 2014.

According to these links,

then these tanks could be both Ukrainian and Russian, and as part of the troops of the DPR and LPR.

Quote: “After the collapse of the Soviet Union, 260 T-80 tanks remained on the territory of Ukraine. Most of them, and these are 181 T-80B units and another 56 T-80BV.”
