This video reminds us that not only are people suffering and affected by the difficult situation the country is facing at the moment, but animals are also bearing the brunt of this conflict.

Just like the woman and the feline, there are many stories in the midst of this war; the lives people have built have been shattered, so hugging an animal can be the line between losing everything and having hope.

Many images floating around the internet reflect people’s need to cling to their pets as comfort and a reminder of what they once knew was a normal, happy life.

According to Transitions Life Care, people who stay with their pets have the idea that their pets can provide them with purpose and a reason to get out of bed when they’re feeling particularly depressed or anxious. In the case of a war, the motivation can become greater and really necessary.

It is really difficult to know where all the current chaos that Ukraine is experiencing and the desolation of its people will lead to having to leave everything they know. What we can do is continue to be empathetic, kind and humble, because you never know when it will be our turn to need help and comfort from a stranger.
