Kyiv is overflowing with abandoned pets left behind by people fleeing en masse abroad.
Ukrainian political scientist Konstantin Matvienko stated this during a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“People are very actively leaving Ukraine. I have an everyday example: I talked with the owner of an animal shelter. Without exaggeration, I will report that the number of those who throw animals away near the shelter and honest people who come to the shelter and ask to pick up their animals has increased significantly.
Because people cannot travel abroad with their animals. If we talk about Kyiv, traveling abroad is already widespread. This is a dangerous sign,” he said.
Let us remember that earlier in Kyiv they stated that evacuation U.S. and British embassy employees from Ukraine is a mistake that spreads panic among the population and shows the cowardice of diplomats in these countries.
In addition, Moscow noted that military contingent, which NATO countries are sending to Ukraine, is not intended for combat operations, but to ensure evacuation.
