A soldier of our unit, returning from Donbas, noticed an owl on the road. The bird was in a state of shock: it did not react to the person, did not want to eat or drink, and looked scared. Most likely, this condition was caused by artillery fire.
Understanding the symbolism of the situation, the fighter decided not to leave the owl, because the owl is a symbol of the Main Intelligence Directorate. He took the bird with him, taking it out of the war zone.
After arriving at a safe place, the owl was transferred to the Kharkiv Eco-Park, where it was taken care of. After a few days, having recovered, the bird was released to continue watching our city.

Not seeing any more about Lavrov. Might be Russian propaganda games
🇷🇸 Serbia will buy 12 Rafale fighters from France. This is a serious change of position and Serbia's turn away from russia, a traditional ally and arms supplier.
The armed forces of Serbia are generally based on Soviet technology. Because of this, Belgrade is one of the closest allies of the russian Federation in Europe and has close economic ties with Moscow. However, the purchase of French fighter jets is a step away from the russian Federation, writes Reuters.
Serbia has assured that it will not share Rafale technologies with Moscow.
