Beavers are serving as an unexpected ally in the Ukrainian defense against Russia's invasion.
Ukrainian military officials told Reuters that beaver dams have flooded much of the swampy land
around northwest Ukraine's border with Belarus, making it difficult to traverse and lowering
the possibility of a new Russian assault through Belarus.
"When they build their dams normally people destroy them, but they didn't this year because of the war,
so now there is water everywhere," Serhiy Khominskyi, a spokesman for one of the Ukrainian military units
in the area, told the news service.
