Ukrainian cat captures public’s mood about war in viral photo

This kitty is da bomb!

Cute but cantankerous Chloe has captivated Ukraine in an image where she sat glumly in a Kyiv subway shelter — taking cover from Russian attacks Thursday while wrapped in a pink blanket.

Igor Novikov, a former adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, shared the photo on his Twitter account, writing: “Chloe the cat in a bomb shelter in Kyiv. We all are Chloe the cat at the moment.”

Local news outlet United24.media said the image “relays the mood of the whole Ukrainian nation.”

The image was snapped on the same day a 9-year-old girl, her mother and another woman were killed in a Russian missile strike on Kyiv.

The air raid shelter they rushed to failed to open, witnesses said.

The Kremlin has denied targeting civilians or committing war crimes though its air strikes have caused destruction across Ukraine since the invasion was launched on Feb. 24, 2022.

Ukraine reported no major damage from Thursday’s strikes, saying it had shot down all 10 missiles.
