A Caneton integrated into a brigade in the Ukrainian army. On the side of Dnipropétrovsk in Ukraine, a small duck with a yellow called Kulia (“ball” in Ukrainian) remains in the hands of a soldier.

Discovered under a cannon on the battlefield, the palmiped has joined since then, in particular to appease the soldiers to the trauma of the war.

“Animals also play a role in war because they have relaxing power,” said Volodymyr, a gunner in the Ukrainian army.

“Social ties with animals are also social ties”

Thanks to Kulia, the soldiers “disconnect a bit of reality” and feel “a little more as in civil life.” You take care, hugs … “The guys who looked like Rambo, ruthless murderers” find a normal life appearance according to him.

According to the leader of the psychological support team, the mental risk for soldiers must put the same level as physical risk. “Social ties with animals are also social ties,” recalls the last one, Maxim.

“And when a person helps a smaller, feeds him, he takes care of him, he feels important and lighter even in case of trauma,” he continues.

For the Ukrainian army, these awareness are also a means to prepare these soldiers in the return to civil life once the conflict ends.
