British army veteran tells how he saved 120 animals trapped in a bombed shelter in Kharkiv
British Army veteran, Tom, has set out to save abandoned and misplaced animals in war-torn Ukraine with his rescue group, Breaking the Chains. In a span of 14 days, the charity has already managed to rescue nearly 700 dogs and cats, and deliver over 100 tons of aid to those in need. 'What we do is very complex and very dangerous. It's like a military operation, so to speak,' Tom told DailyMail.com in a phone interview from Ukraine.
In one recent rescue effort, the crew retrieved 120 animals trapped in a shelter in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city that has been obliterated by Russia. 'It was 900 meters from the Russian frontline. There were artillery rounds landing in and around the area while we were extracting the animals,' he said. The animals are taken to a 'safe space' to be examined, given water, cleaned up, and transported to the border of Romania, where they'll be placed into shelters.
