🦉How the fighters of the 429th Brigade “ACHILLES” saved an owl
While performing combat missions, the fighters of the 429th Brigade “ACHILLES” noticed an owl tangled in the enemy’s anti-drone netting and fiber-optic cable. The bird could not get out on its own and was doomed. Our military stopped, carefully freed it, and released it into the wild.
Combat operations cause enormous damage to the environment: destroying forests, fields, animals, and birds. Russia brings destruction with it—to cities, to nature, and to everything its hand touches.
But Ukrainians, even in the most difficult moments, remain themselves—with an open heart and respect for life. Because we are fighting for a world where there is a place for kindness, will, and freedom.
And that’s just one they found in time to save it…
I would imagine there’s a hellscape of dead animals entangled in those fibers.
Having seen how some areas are now draped in a fine web of fibre optics now, I suspect you’re right.
Dogs and cats eat everything that died (dunno how long they live after eating animals with fiber optics), really fucked up thing are shell shocked animals that walk around like zombies barely understanding what’s happening around them. Especially big ones like deers and roe deers. 😭
Good on them! (The owl seems remarkably calm for all of this.)
