Ukraine has a problem with mice. They spread illness and hinder fight

Kira, a Ukrainian soldier, relates how in the autumn of last year her battalion struggled with a “mouse patch” during the fighting in the confederate Zaporozh region. As soldiers went to bed, mice slipped into their pants, sweaters... They were biting their fingers... She estimates that there were about a 1000 mice in the place where she and 3 another soldiers slept. She says she tried everything to get free of them: she poured poison, sprayed ammonia, even prayed. close shops made a luck selling poisons. Soldiers besides had a kitten that initially helped and ate mice. But a cat can catch 1 or two.
