Man Fleeing Ukraine War with Kitten Found Alive in Frigid Romania Mountains: "Peach Kept My Heart Warm"

[C0RI0LANUS]

20. Hi electric_blue68. 1) Don't be embarrassed; 2) We don't know all the circumstances of Duda.

Duda may have lost an older brother or two when the Russians invaded and his parents advised him to flee. Duda may be LGBTQ and afraid he may be abused within the ranks of the Ukrainian Army. May be we'll find out in the future if this is that important to people.

I wrote a serious OP in GD about Ukrainian manpower issues a few months ago.
The US provides refuge to 271,000 Ukrainians; Canada has taken in similar numbers. Kiev can request Wash DC and Ottawa to return the military-age males. Kiev can ask the same of all the NATO or EU countries that host Ukrainian males, like Romania cited in this OP.

But this instant OP written about a cat was posted in the DU Lounge where it was meant to be a distraction, away from the daily political grind we are exposed to.

Somehow the rules of the DU Lounge appear to have been ignored in this thread by introducing politics that should have been thoroughly discussed in LBN, GD, or Editorials.

Sometimes DU-ers just want to read about cats, dogs or other pets as a pleasant diversion. I do.
