In a remarkable rescue, Ukrainian journalist Vladislav Duda was saved in Romania while clinging to his kitten, Peach. Duda, fleeing military drafts in Ukraine, was found hypothermic in a ravine after days in subzero conditions. Rescuers faced harsh weather to retrieve them; Duda emphasized his gratitude for Peach's survival. With the ongoing Ukrainian conflict and increased draft eligibility laws, such dangerous journeys are common for men escaping military service. Duda's story highlights both the perilous escape faced by many and the bond between human and pet in times of crisis.
