People In Ukraine Are Holding Their Pets Tight For Comfort (20 Pics)

As Russia continues its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the people of the invaded nation have bravely fought for their country. Those who had to have also fled their homes and are clinging to those they love — friends, family, and their pets.

Many Ukrainians have had to flee to other countries and have been faced with the decision to leave their pets behind. Fortunately, the EU has relaxed its entry paperwork for pets traveling with Ukrainian refugees and other neighboring nations have also relaxed their rules.
