This is Diesel, a 7 year old Belgian Malinois who was a member of an elite French anti-terror unit. Sadly Diesel was killed during a raid, where he died scouting a potentially dangerous situation from the blast of a female suicide bomber.
As a gesture of solidarity and support, Russia has gifted the French Police with a little German Shepherd pup called Dobryna. Named after a Russian Knight, his name stands for Strength, Kindness, Valour and Selfless Help.
While some might consider it an insignificant action, little gestures like this are what makes us human.
thequietone27
From Russia, with love. ....

russia should give a bear to replace the dog.

Diesel was female -- you should edit it! Other than that, this is really sweet.

because correcting insignificant typos when there is no possible way anyone was confused is annoying and unnecessary

Oh, you also forgot the question mark, and "downvoted" is usually represented as one word.

The suicide bomber wasn't female. There was a man with a vest that was near her who was the actual bomber.

It's the very fact that it's isignificant that makes it great! Russia knows that this won't help with shit, so they do it just to be kind!

That's sad that you have so much mistrust. I perceive this gesture as an act of solidarity. Of course in addition to the airstrikes.

My initial reaction was that this was somehow sinister. Then I remembered the Putin used to have a pet lab, and actually cared for it.

He may not give a shit about the Syrian people, or the Ukranian people, or even his own people, but he does care about the Best people.

Kiev should send Odessa some dogs for people that were burned alive by ukranians

Yeah keep using a isolated incident as an justification for invasion. More than 3000 have been killed now because Putin disrupted the region

Ukraine is the only one responsible for its current situation.

Yeah, because it's your fault when another country invades you.

TitsMcGee30
its your fault when you violently overthrow a legitimate elected government

Violently? Legitimate? Overthrow? He ran away, *to Russia*. And this is Ukraine's business, not Russia's, it doesn't justify invasion.

What about those snipers on the roof shooting both policemen and rioters which actually made revolution to happen?

Also cool that Russia and the US (on opposite sides in Syria) are working together so they can both focus on dealing with ISIS et. al.

Dean Koontz wrote a book where it was suggested that a country might gift another country a super-smart puppy as a spy.

So that's it then, this washes away everything they've done and are still doing? People are so easy to manipulate, just show them a puppy...

russia is seen in a bad light because the ruling class is a bunch of cunts. the people (while crazy) are good. a distinction should be made.

Ive always liked Russia, and while Putins actions are... Well you know, I still have mad respect for him as a leader. He does what he says

Thank you for this. Kiev was NATO/US overthrow of Yanukovych, installation of Poro. The rest of Ukraine noped the fuck out. Democratically!

That's because they should be viewed in a bad light. Sure this is a nice gesture, but we shouldn't forget the human rights issues and ukrain

the Russian border that was a legitimate threat to national security. The US would have done the same, as they indeed have. 2/2

Unlike the Ukraine, the Georgia actually was the aggressor in that war. At least the EU investigation claims that.

The main distinction between Russia and the west is that Russia is still using its nuclear arsenal as a stick to threaten the world with.

1. Ukraine and Georgia.

1. Crimean members of Ukraine's parliament asked for help from the UN. They declined. They asked Russia, they accepted.
