From Kyiv 🇺🇦 to Malden, MA, USA 🇺🇸. Thank you, Ukrposhta and UAnimals! 🐾

🌻 In May, at the end of my humanitarian volunteer trip, I used Ukrposhta (Ukrainian Postal Service) to mail home a small package — and it arrived in a special UAnimals box.

🐴🪽🐕 🐟For those who don’t know, UAnimals has been rescuing animals of all species from cruelty and war in Ukraine since 2016 — evacuating animals from combat zones, delivering food and veterinary care to shelters, and fighting for animal protection laws.

➡️ Please consider supporting them: https://uanimals.org/en/

🐱Naturally, my rescue kitties Xing Xing and Clemmie had to investigate. They fully approve of the box and send their solidarity to their friends overseas. 💙💛

#Olena_Skliar (left) and #Anastasiia_Kolvakh (right) were both killed in yesterday's #Russian strike on #Poltava.

#Olena was a nurse. She died in the hospital due to injuries from the strike.

#Anastasiia was an actress, and in her spare time, she volunteered at #UAnimals, a #Ukrainian animal rights organization.

My thoughts go out to the families of the victims.

"I would rather take all the dogs than my belongings," says #Olena, who was evacuated by the #UAnimals team from the village of #Shevchenko, #Donetsk region.

The team managed to evacuate #Olena, eight cats, and fourteen dogs. The evacuation took place 1.5 kilometres away from the #Russian offensive.

In the video, drones can be seen and heard flying overhead while volunteers put the animals in carriers and load them into an evacuation vehicle.

Volodymyr, a 70-year-old man, started walking from #Torske in #Donetsk to #Poltava with three cows and a dog, refusing to leave them behind as he fled the war. Carrying only a small bag after his cart broke.

A defender met him, provided food and water, and sought help from the "Zemlyachki" fund, which helps servicemen.

#UAnimals found Volodymyr near #Izyum in the #Kharkiv region and with the support of Poltava's acting mayor, they found him and his animals a home.
