Ukraine: Firefighters resuscitate cat rescued from building after Russian shelling

Emergency services have shared footage of the moment they resuscitated a cat that was rescued from a burning building in Ukraine.

According to the State Emergency Service, the pet was found by rescuers who were extinguishing a fire in a five-storey residential block after Russian shelling.

In a video posted on social media, the cat’s head is moistened with water while firefighters help it breathe using compressed air.

Last month, a puppy was pulled from the rubble of a destroyed building and reunited with its owner by rescuers in Mykhailivka.
