[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our first attempt to talk with Viktor Vorotnikov, a veterinarian and head of the Veterinarians Without Borders organization from Krasnohrad, Kharkiv region, was put off. “I have surgeries starting soon, sorry. They will take the whole day,”<\/em> explained the doctor. However, we managed to connect the next day. “Convenient or not\u2014if I promised, I have to keep it,”<\/em> Viktor laughed.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the day we couldn’t speak, he was in Izium, where he, along with two assistants and another veterinarian, performed around 70 surgeries. Last year alone, his clinic team sterilized up to 15,000 animals. Since the start of the full-scale war, Viktor and his colleagues have operated on over 5,000 animals rescued during sterilization missions and UAnimals evacuation trips.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is it like, to save animals affected by war? Does the veterinarian witness more humanity or indifference? Viktor shared his experiences.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u2014 <\/span>How did you connect your life with veterinary medicine?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014 I have dreamed of saving animals since childhood! Even in play, I pretended to treat rabbits\u2014one had an “earache,” another had a “sore leg.” As I grew up, these games became my daily reality. I first studied at a vocational school in the veterinary department, then graduated from the Kharkiv Veterinary Institute. I’ve been in this profession for 42 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I work in my own clinic and in the field. We have two mobile surgery units, so we travel to frontline areas. In 5-6 days on such a mission, we manage to operate on at least 300, sometimes even 600 animals.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We sterilize some, while others need treatment for injuries. I also provide consultations during these missions, advising people on how to care for their animals, what vaccinations they need, and when. Outside of surgeries, I see up to 80 patients a day. I often help animals with concussions. It’s similar to treating humans\u2014they need rest, care, and medications that relieve pain and symptoms.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\n

\n \n
\n

<\/p>\n

Sterilization is a humane way to control the birth of animals. Please support the sterilization missions of UAnimals!<\/p>\n

\n \n
Support UAnimals<\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n [vc_column_text]\u2014 Do you notice how animals are treated in areas close to the combat zone during these trips?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014 I encounter a lot of human indifference. Sometimes, for example, animals are left chained up. I understand that in wartime, anything can happen\u2014perhaps the animals’ caretakers were caught in shelling or had to leave quickly. But at least unchain the dog!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, there’s more kindness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m always struck by the soldiers who bring us cats and dogs. Recently, they brought us a cat named Vasya with fractures of everything that could be broken. He’s currently living at our clinic, receiving treatment, and waiting for his caretaker to return from the frontline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soldiers risk their lives, but don’t forget to help the most vulnerable. Then, they call us to check on the animals because they worry about them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, I think this helps the soldiers themselves, too\u2014it distracts them from the horrors of war by allowing them to focus on helping.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2014 Over your 42 years in this profession, have you noticed changes in how animals are treated?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014 Absolutely! Especially towards stray animals. The attitude used to be very harsh\u2014they could even be shot. Now, there are far more initiatives to control their population humanely. Our organization, Veterinarians Without Borders, was one of the first to implement such a program. Since 2017, we have been catching, sterilizing, vaccinating, and microchipping cats and dogs and then releasing them. We’ve done this in seven regions in the East of Ukraine, and I’ve personally participated in these missions.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n [vc_column_text]\u2014 What advice would you give to those who rescue animals near the frontline?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014 It’s very simple: safety first. When rescuing animals, you must think about your own life, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I conduct first aid training for volunteers and always urge them to plan everything in advance. You need to be prepared for any unforeseen situation and know how to help an animal in those conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Consider the types of injuries animals might have (gunshot wounds, concussions, fractures) and have all the necessary supplies with you. Also, keep in mind that sometimes animals need to be rescued from water or may flee into mined areas. In such cases, special equipment will be needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is serious and dangerous work, not just a “photo op.” Even a sincere desire to help isn’t enough. So if you plan to volunteer there, consult with professionals\u2014those who have already worked near the frontline. This will help you avoid mistakes that could cost you your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 From your experience, which animals are the hardest to evacuate?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014 Evacuating any animal is challenging in its own way. There are frightened, aggressive dogs that need to be unchained first. Sometimes an animal has to be pulled out of a pit before it can be evacuated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But in my opinion, the hardest animals to save are those with underlying health issues. Sometimes we find animals with anorexia or starving from hunger. Transporting them is extremely difficult\u2014you must carefully plan the evacuation, ensuring access to oxygen and water.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2014 Of course! I treated them myself, too, by the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Please tell us about them, please.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014 There’s my cat, Harik, a Sphynx who was evacuated from Vuhledar. He’s a large, dignified cat with a stern look but very gentle and well-mannered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I also have a wonderful little dog, Tobik. He was hit by a car, and this little guy\u2014a toy terrier\u2014had a pelvic fracture and a prolapsed intestine. There was little hope that we could save him. But Tobik survived, and now he’s such a great friend!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n [vc_column_text]\u2014 Lastly, could you share what discourages you in your work and what inspires you?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014 Well, what inspires me, of course, is when a difficult surgery ends successfully.<\/span><\/p>\n

What discourages me… It’s the indifference of people towards animals and nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, in 2020, we rescued a bear that an oligarch had “played with” until he got bored. The animal lived in a cramped enclosure. When we saw her, the bear was already paralyzed in her hind legs and was extremely emaciated. We consulted with colleagues from other countries on how to help her and shared her test results. Everyone unanimously said she wouldn\u2019t survive. But we managed to stabilize her enough to place her in Natalia Popova\u2019s Wild Animal Rescue Center. The bear lived there for another two years before passing away just before the full-scale invasion began.<\/span><\/p>\n

What discourages me now is how all living things are suffering because of Russia. What can I say? If we save the natural world, we save ourselves as well. That’s what I believe.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
