A 35-year-old volunteer in Omsk, Russia, has died from injuries sustained in a brutal attack last month. Valeria Belova, known as Lera Zima, was a volunteer who helped soldiers fighting in Ukraine and cared for homeless animals. According to reports, two intoxicated men set a dog on her and her pets while shouting anti-Russian, pro-Ukraine slogans, allegedly aware of her work supporting the front. She initially refused hospitalization to care for her injured dogs but her condition deteriorated, leading to her death at home before a scheduled doctor's appointment. Local police know the identities of the suspects but have not made any arrests.
