Russian soldiers on the Ukraine front raise adult foxes, a tradition that has continued for years and is touching.

The front line of the Russia-Ukraine war, a Russian soldier showed an fox he adopted. The fox seems to have been raised for a long time, as adult foxes are difficult to tame.

It is a long-standing tradition in the Russian army for soldiers to adopt animals, which can be traced back to the Tsarist era and even earlier. It was also very common in World War I and World War II. The Red Army and later the Russian army inherited this tradition, and scenes of soldiers accompanying animals can be seen in many historical photos and film works. In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it is more common for Russian soldiers on the front lines to adopt various animals such as cats and dogs. This is not an official action, but rather a spontaneous act based on human needs. There are multiple profound reasons behind it, far exceeding simple hobbies.
