.Russian volunteers are sending out pet cats to combat off rodent invasions in the battleground trenches during the course of the country's attack of Ukraine, local media stated Monday." The soldiers grumbled to me that they're afflicted through computer mice," volunteer Vladimir Malygin informed the state-affiliated media outlet Tatar Inform." Kitties spared the Hermitage throughout the Great Patriotic War [The Second World War], so I believed why not send them pussy-cats," claimed Malygin, that moves a military-patriotic club in Russia's republic of Tatarstan.Talking during the course of a regional 12-hour military employment telethon, Malygin exhibited an orange residential cat named Ryzhik that he claimed was ready for release.Russian media accented his accolade in between "cozy, dear kitties coming from Tatarstan for our lads" as well as seemingly "man-eating" pet cats living in Russian-occupied far eastern Ukraine."
