Ukrainian soldiers pose on horseback with Javelin anti-tank missiles

A group of Ukrainian cavalrymen have posed on the frontline with their horses and Western-supplied Javelins.

Members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been captured on camera with their Javelin anti-tank missiles in a display of 'strength, courage and devotion' to duty.

"Today we stand on the frontlines, where everyone is a chain of the mighty shield of our country," said a Ukrainian Telegram post.

The post read: "The primordial spirit of 'Heavy Cavalry' carries strength, courage, and devotion.

"Fighting the invaders is our mission, and victory is our inalienable destiny.

"Let's fight together, and to the end because we – 'Heavy Cavalry' – are always on the guard of freedom and independence."

Another picture was taken showing two horses with a Ukrainian soldier on each.
