The Russia Ukraine war which has now lasted over 100 days has propped up many wonders, lots of which were never contemplated by military analysts before and at the beginning of the Russian inversion of Ukraine in late February 2022.
As Ukrainians, both the professional army and even civilians fight harder every day to defend their lands against the invading Russian military, everyone and everything in the country seem to be joining the war.
The latest of these fighters is now a goat, which the local social media have nicknamed the “Goat of Kyiv”, which The Telegraph reports have injured at least 40 Russian soldiers.
The incident happened in a Ukrainian city called Zaporizhzhia where the Russian soldiers booby-trapped a local hospital. The traps were meant to provide a sort of “circular defence” for the Russians against the Ukrainian soldiers.
However, unfortunately for the Russian Soldiers who set up the trap using grenades and tripwires, a mysterious goat that was reported to have escaped from a farm in the village of Kinski Rozdory triggered it off.
The “chaotic movements” of the goat accidentally set off the traps, which injured about 40 Russian soldiers, who were setting the booby-traps, the Ukraine’s Chief Intelligence Directorate have said, according to The Telegraph.
The report says that shortly after the Russian soldiers had finished laying the booby-traps with the grenades and tripwire, the goat which was meandering around moved towards the area, creating a chain reaction that injured many of the Russian soldiers.
A statement from the Ukraine’s Chief Intelligence Directorate said, “As a result of the goat’s ‘chaotic’ movements, the animal ‘disposed of’ several grenades,”
“As a result of a chain reaction, several (Russians) sustained injuries of varying degrees of severity.”
The Ukrainian goat is now nicknamed the “Goat of Kyiv” on the local Ukrainian social media, which is in reference to the legend of a mythical heroic pilot, known as the “Ghost of Kyiv”, credited with shooting down numerous Russian planes in the early days of the Russian inversion and their attempt to capture Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital.
