Ukrainian cat wins influencer award

The cat Stepan from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, who has become famous on social media for his relaxed appearance, won the prestigious World Influencers and Bloggers Award in Cannes, France, Suspilne reports. Now he finally seems really impressed (not really him, but his owner Hanna).

After the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Stepan and his family evacuated from Kharkiv, which was heavily shelled by occupants. The cat is now safe in France and raises funds for the Ukrainian relief through his popular Instagram and Tik Tok accounts.
