WATCH A Firefighter In Ukraine Rescue A Small Kitten And Give It A Bath

The crisis in Ukraine is continuing on for yet another week. There are no words to describe the tragedy that so many men, women, and children are facing as they find their homes destroyed and their lives upended by the senseless violence.

However, many are trying to find small moments of hope and compassion in the chaos. The Ministry for Ukraine recently uploaded a video of a firefighter rescuing a kitten and giving it a bath.

They captioned the video, “A firefighter washes a small kitten, rescued from the smoky mall in Kharkiv🥺”

One user commented, “The difference between those who destroy life and those who respect life.”

“So beautiful… kindness and compassion… what a wonderful man 🥰” another wrote.

“You know there is a big f---ing problem when the firefighters have to wear bulletproof vests,” another noted.

“Thank you !!!” said another. “That in time of war you find time to be so human! I wish you both would get out of there safely !”

They shared another adorable photo of a puppy managing a short nap.

“It is midnight in Ukraine,” they captioned the snap. “Brave and hard-working dog-deminer Patron wishes you calm sleep and sweet dreams ✨”

“Bravest Jack Russell in the world.😍😍❤️❤️One of the brave lifesavers of Ukraine 💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦” one user commented.

“I pray it is a quiet night,” another shared. “Sending lots of prayers. 🥺😢😭 Please God please world come together and end this now!”

“I wish a peaceful and safe night to the Ukrainian defenders 🇺🇦 best wishes from the US,” said another.

Another photo showed a stocked coffee house in Kyiv, Ukraine, which still remains free of Russian occupation.

“In coffee houses in Kyiv people can thank their defenders by leaving post-its,” they explained in the caption. “It means that they paid for beverages and desserts as a treat for military or territorial defense members. They can come and have any of them for free.”

Many supporters wished that there was a way that they could also contribute.

“I would pay for several if I was there,” one user wrote.

“I would like to add some ‘post-its’ too. Is it possible to donate from Germany?” another asked.

“Kindness has no boundaries ❤ it’s the language of the soul ❤🇺🇦 Ukrainian beautiful hearts 😍” another commented.

“How generous and nice,” another wrote. “Slava Ukraini!! Glory to the country of such exemplary people. 🌻”

Anton Gerashchenko, Adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, posted a video on his Twitter account which showed Ukrainian rescuers working to free a trapped dog from the rubble.

He tweeted, “A village on Donbas was shelled by Russia and a puppy was under the debris. Rescuers were able to save him and give him back to the owner (who himself narrowly escaped death from shelling). Rescue services work 24/7 doing the hardest work and saving lives. #UkraineUnderAttaсk.”

Many users thanked them for the incredible work that the rescuers were doing and expressed support for Ukraine. One user commented, “Beautiful… If you want to look for someone to ‘model’ your behavior after look no farther! Model these guys!! They took the time to find and rescue a puppy and return him to his owner! What heart!”

“I've noticed that the Ukrainians are taking great care to also rescue dogs, cats, and other animals. It's sweet,” another commented.

“That is beautiful - so many emotions in one minute. Rage that Russia shelled a peaceful village, and deep, deep love and respect for the rescuers. The bond between this poor man and his dog will sustain and comfort them both. They are both survivors. Bless them all,” another wrote.
