On the muddy and freezing front lines of Ukraine’s conflict with pro-Russian separatist forces, entrenched soldiers have been adopting stray cats and dogs and finding that the animals are quickly becoming valued assets. “She immediately barks or growls if the enemy is planning an attack,” said 21-year-old Ukrainian soldier Mykyta about his dog, explaining how the animals help make the tense situation “safer and calmer”.

As someone who works on security, stray animals are naturally attracted to human concentrations, specially the ones who we're pets on some point, and yes they are valuable in many ways, not only they are a companion but they provide security and sanitation by alerting about people movements to sentries, and eating plagues like rats and bugs, so always welcome them in kind, they want love and food and they work for it

It is common practice for people to feed or make stray animals here relatively healthy. They get dangerous in parts where they form packs and if you are scared of them. 2 close people i know got bitten in past 2 years by dogs, but that usually means they were starved or desperate.

I came here for the same thing, it breaks my heart

I hope peace would come to them all, for the sake of all lives, big and small.

For me, the animals give the troops incentive to keep going. Lord knows what they're going through but at least they have friends who want to see them again.

I can't be the only one that read "Nato" as "Neko" at first because of the cat in the thumbnail.

It's heartbreaking to see these animals as strays but found companions with these brave soldiers. Praying and hoping that they will be safe as always. And Hopefully this war ends . Slava Ukraina!

I wish the Ukrainian military all the luck, and it’s people. It’s sad to see a war that just doesn’t need to happen.
