On the occasion of the New Year, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement to exchange prisoners of war between the two sides, and the place of delivery and delivery was not disclosed, so what is the story of the Ukrainian captive dog?

And the episode (2/1/2023) of the program “Networks” shed light on the story of this dog, which began at the Azovstal factory in the Mariupol region, where among the prisoners was a Ukrainian soldier with her pitbull dog, and the dog was captured with its owner as it was also with the Ukrainian soldiers. .

The Russian colonel Yuri Kovanov - who was besieging the Azovstal plant - took the dog and gifted it to Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov as a souvenir of Russia's victory in the field, and the gifting process was documented in a video, as the colonel described it as an interesting gift.

In the dialogue that took place between Kadyrov and the Russian colonel, the colonel told the head of Chechnya that the dog was called Adolf, but its name was changed to Adidas, and that it was in the catacombs in Azovstal, but it was taken from a woman during the capture process, so Kadyrov mocked the story and the owner of the dog who promised retrieve it.

In the developments of the captive dog issue, it seems that the Ukrainian side, in the exchange negotiations, insisted on the return of all the prisoners, the first of which was the dog. The exchange deal was documented between the released Ukrainian soldiers during their meeting with their families, and among them was the dog Adolf.

How did the activists comment?

Commenting on the process of captivity, activist Reham said in a tweet to her, "Even dogs and animals are captives of Russia.. How is it possible? Did anyone attack or threaten Russia's national security? No, and Kadyrov took him as a gift as well.. God is a farce."

On the other hand, tweeter Ahmed wrote, "They did not kill him, starve him, or throw him in the streets alone. He could be hit by bullets or explosives. On the contrary, they took him, took care of him, and gave him a gift of appreciation."

The activist, Warda, said, "A poor dog has nothing but its arms or legs. Just because it was with its nanny, it has become a custody in the hands of Russia, which disposes of it as it wishes."

As for the activist Samer, he wrote, "A nice gift. This shows their love and compassion for animals, and Kadyrov is known for his love of animals."

It is noteworthy that during the exchange process, the Russians recovered 82 of their captive soldiers, and sent them to Moscow for treatment and physical and psychological rehabilitation. As for Ukraine, it recovered 140 captive soldiers and volunteers in its army, some of whom were wounded.
