Ukrainian soldiers continue to share cute videos of their frontline pets, in footage posted on social media. 

One of the videos features a dog who not only guards Ukrainian positions but also helps to make them safer by pulling in digging trenches.

Another video shows a brood of bunnies, cared for by a Ukrainian soldier, who lovingly feeds them with milk.

A turtle became another unexpected companion of Ukrainian soldiers. Having decorated the turtle baby's shell with a yellow and blue flag, Ukrainians soldiers jokingly sent it straight to "storm Moscow" as the most dangerous "biological weapon."

Video of day

Earlier, a video surfaced online showing a tame young boar who follows his human "fellow soldiers" everywhere.

Wild animals, including dogs, a beaver, and birds, have sometimes wandered into Ukrainian trenches and positions.
