📹A dog named Jessica is guarding the site of a Russian strike in Kyiv, her owner was killed.

It became known that the man worked as a guard nearby and the dog was with him. Rescuers reached out to the organization UAnimals.

"Some are ready to sponsor, some are ready to take her later. There are volunteers, there are people with kind hearts and good souls who, I think, will find a home for this dog," said the State Emergency Service spokeswoman Vodolaga in a comment to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

We also spoke with a girl named Anastasia, who wants to take the dog or help.

"We saw this dog in the morning on a Telegram channel, my heart clenched because she looks very much like my late dog. I had a shepherd, her name was also Jessica. I couldn't stand it, so I'm here," the girl said.
