In a Telegram channel linked to a military audience, a controversial effort emerged to share erotic photographs with Ukrainian forces, with the aim of boosting morale among soldiers. This report originates from Daily Star. The publication notes that a 39-year-old psychologist, Anna Rymarenko, spearheaded the channel, and that roughly one hundred provocative images are uploaded daily. The channel refers to Ukrainian fighters as “our kittens.”
One account describes a soldier friend joking about whether women could best support their troops by posting nude photos themselves, suggesting it could lift spirits. Rymarenko is quoted as reflecting on the founding of the channel, expressing that the idea sparked amusement and curiosity among peers.
Another participant, Daria Pavlovskaya, cautioned that explicit pornography is not welcomed within the channel, instead proposing that visuals featuring women topless or nude be created and shared from private settings at home.
Tim, a soldier who viewed the channel, admitted that the content prompted reflections on home and the hope of returning, indicating that the messages were intended to keep the homefront connected to the front lines.
Meanwhile, in the political sphere, former President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Kyiv remains committed to strengthening military capabilities, including the ongoing efforts to supply more advanced and longer-range weapon systems to the front lines. [Citation: Daily Star]
