00:01Andrei Khrushkov faced a difficult decision, as officers from Ukraine's White Angel Police Unit came and helped evacuate civilians from
00:10the front-line city of Zhuzhkovka.
00:12No shelters would take him and his pets.
00:16We cannot live with them. No one will take us, he said, as Russian attacks continued nearby.
00:23Explosions were heard in the distance, with drones visible overhead.
00:28But at least Khrushkov could leave them with volunteers from the animal rescue team 12 wards.
00:35My son went missing, and now you are too, Khrushkov said tearfully to his dog, before leaving it with the
00:42team.
00:43The volunteers said they rescue all animals they encounter in front-line areas.
00:49This includes requests from residents and abandoned pets found on the streets.
00:53We always take in the wounded, the traumatized, the shell-shocked, the skinny, the hungry, the miserable, volunteer Lala Tarapakina
01:03said.
01:04Everyone, both people and animals.
01:06All right, thank you, sir.
