Even amid the loneliness and chaos that the war brings, Ukrainian soldiers are able to find solace and some joy from the companionship of their pets.

These Ukrainian soldiers refuse to give up their spirit, and instead, they seek the morale boost they need from their loyal animals who come hail, come storm will always be there for them.

It is very touching that even in the midst of this extremely challenging time, pets will not hesitate to stay with their owners. They also show the same love and strength even if these animals cannot express their opinion on the terrible injustice that Russia has committed against their homeland.

Animals are better than criminal-minded humans. They know how to show gratitude, appreciation, love, compassion, and devotion. No wonder those who own pets are intimately connected to them, giving them pure affection and receiving the same.

Many civilian Ukrainians may have been forced to leave their pets behind when they escaped the country due to the Russian invasion. Yet, out of love for animals, other nationalities have been making efforts to rescue them.

Ukrainian soldiers, even amid this terrible war, also try to help these animals that are caught in the crossfire They understand the feeling of their fellow Ukrainians who were compelled by circumstances to escape the bloody conflict. It must have broken their hearts to leave their dogs, cats, and other pets behind.

Yes, there were those who had managed to bring their pets along but not everyone is that fortunate.

These Ukrainian soldiers and their pets have shown the Russian invaders that they cannot take everything away — not the love in their hearts and their deep sense of humanity.
