Maybe these T-54s are being moved for other reasons, but the presumption is that Russia is preparing to use them for the war in Ukraine.

It's better than no tank, but the T-54 (first adopted in 1948) would be the oldest tank to serve in this conflict. It's worth noting that most estimates of Russian reserves in recent years either discounted the T-54/55s entirely or estimated that they had ~500, but the latter set of estimates sat within a context of a clear overestimate of ~13,000 tanks total.
I've stated before that Russia will have problems with other kinds of equipment, such as protected mobility, before they have problems fielding their preferred numbers of tanks, and I stand by that. However, if T-54s are deployed, that's definitely a harbinger of problems fielding the preferred number of tanks.

Putin visiting Mariupol, inspecting the reconstruction:

How is Ukrainian media taking all this?
Most likely
I highly doubt the "it was here where Hitler realized the war was lost" claim. But yeah, pretty much:

Waiting for the inevitable Lazerpig Loop argument from Woodbury on this.
