Ukraine's emergency services are continuing to work through towns and areas as Russia pulls back.

This includes clearing away ammunition and any explosive devices that may have been left behind.

One such member has become somewhat of an internet sensation - for being a dog.

Posting on social media, the emergency services say he is helping pyrotechnicians in the Chernihiv region to clear explosive devices left by Russian troops.

"The little dog reminds of the great danger... every time someone does not follow the rules", they say.

They are also reminding people to "be aware and look under your feet".
