Good work by all involved, and a happy ending for the whales. Now if only Russia would fuck off and stop bombing Kharkiv and the rest of Ukraine.

This is an incredibly complicated paragraph. Beluga whales transported across Ukraine. It’s surreal. Glorious, inconceivable, incomprehensible. Baffling; as all surreality should be.

Not sure I want to read the article - might burst the bubble. Beluga whales driving super-trucks across Ukraine ? I don’t think I want to touch it. Too pure

Poor things, I'm glad they were moved to safety. But there are a lot of humans, and animals, left behind and suffering still from unconscionable Russian attacks.
