Throughout history, mules and horses have carried some of the military's heaviest loads🐴🥵 Now, Royal Marines are learning firsthand just how invaluable these four-legged soldiers can be!💪⬇️ youtu.be/g99lAE6FGU4?feature…

Why US Marines still use animals in war

When it comes to carrying troops and equipment, nothing beats the mighty mule.

Russian shelling destroyed a historic wooden church in eastern Ukraine. The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin in Andriivka of Donetsk Oblast was built in 1795-1797, making it one of the oldest churches in eastern Ukraine. It was the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP), which had strong ties with the Russian Orthodox Church before the full-scale invasion of 2022. As of February, Russian forces have damaged or destroyed 642 religious buildings across Ukraine, including 596 Christian churches. 📷pokrovvicariate Telegram
