Furry Feline Companions for Russia's Special Op Soldiers

Subscribe
The annual celebration known as World Cat Day or International Cat Day took place on August 8.
This day aims to raise awareness about the significance of cats in our lives and promotes their well-being and protection.
It is a special occasion to recognize and honor the unique personalities of these furry companions, who have been loyal friends to humans since ancient times.
In the midst of the front line, one can often find furry troops taking shelter in almost every dugout. Animals from areas affected by conflict can also become closely attached to military personnel, who do not ignore the presence of their four-legged friends.
Oftentimes, soldiers even bring their beloved pets back home to their families.
Take a look at Sputnik's photogallery showing cats living in the zone of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine.
