Russia's invasion of Ukraine has misplaced a great number of animals as families have been forced to leave their homes, and pets, in the wake of war.
Along Ukraine's border with Poland, a shelter has been erected to take care of these war-weary animals, according to a report.Volunteers care for the dogs, cats, and other pets who have been left homeless as a product of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion, the report noted.Workers say the animals have been traumatized by the conflict.
"Other ones are family dogs that are just left, and sometimes with a letter where they write, 'We hope we can find our dogs and cats again.'"Imminent danger has prevented many volunteers from delivering food and supplies to war-ravaged areas, according to the report.Victoria Trofimenko, a 42-year-old mother, escaped Kyiv with her daughter, mother, dog, and cat in tow as Russian missiles rained down.Trofimenko's family eventually resettled in Prague, Czech Republic.
