This seems like a total joke but truth is stranger than fiction.

Ukraine's navy apparently lost three dolphins from their training ground in the Black Sea off the coast of Crimea.

These military dolphins weren't just trained to find mines or anything, they were possibly armed with knives and guns!!

Mila Kunis has been TARGETED by a Ukrainian politician. And it is not being smiled upon in the Jewish community.

Igor Miroshnichenko wrote a letter slurring at Ashton Kutcher's girlfriend, calling the Ukrainian born-Jew a "zhydovka."

Now, if you don't know what it means… all you need to know is this — it's been used as a slur against Jews since the Holocaust.

Yeah… tacky.

Unfortunately, the Ukrainian government says it's OK since their dictionary defines the term without slur intentions. But El Lay's famous Simon Wiesenthal Center didn't like that, so they protested in a letter to the Ukraine Prime Minister, asking for condemnation of the remarks.

They insist the term is an:

Oh heckz no!!!

Even though the Ukrainian figure skater, Oksana Baiul doesn't quite understand English, she does know that suing the almighty William Morris Endeavor agency will probably make her $1 million richer!!

Miz Baiul recently filed a suit against WME for apparently tricking her into signing a crazy amount of contracts when she was only 16… and didn't really know a word of English.

Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe was the biggest hit of the summer, but did she steal it from a Ukrainian singer named Aza?

According to our ears, no. However, this busty blonde must be hearing something different because she says the hit single is a complete rip off of her song, Hunky Santa (above).

She's filing a lawsuit against Jepsen and manager Scooter Braun today. It seems that Aza's not concerned with them lifting the tune, so much as stealing her lyrics and explained:

What is going on here?!

We're not exactly sure how we feel about this, but we just can't tear our eyes away!

In this video, directed by Vitaliy Shakirov from the Ukraine, some weird special effects are used to make this adorable cat sing!

Um, and did we mention that there's a creepy thumb involved too??

Just… just watch (above) to find out what we're talking about!!

The fashion world is becoming a more diverse and accepting industry every day!

On Wednesday night in Kiev, Ukraine, beautiful, disabled women and native designers got together to put on the show Fashion Chance and judging by the cheering and sometimes tearful audience, it was a HUGE success.

Ilona Slugovina, who is a wheelchair ballroom dancer and was one of the models, said

It's absolutely terrifying that this legislation was even being CONSIDERED, but thankfully, the people of Ukraine and other European countries have stood up to defeat it.

The Ukrainian parliament was scheduled to vote on a new law on Friday which would make it illegal to "spread homosexuality" by "holding meetings, parades, actions, demonstrations and mass events aiming at intentional distribution of any positive information about homosexuality." Ukrainian citizens who broke the proposed law would be facing up to five years in prison for freely expressing any positive opinion about homosexuality through ANY medium.

Scary, right?

Although this exposed the frightening homophobia that is still felt around the globe, it gives us hope to hear that other foreign governments actively denounced the law, while thousands of people signed a petition against it.

On top of Ireland, Argentina, and the European Parliament speaking out against the oppressive law, AllOut.org delivered 120,000 signatures to Ukrainian authorities at the European Union and Council of Europe. Andre Banks, co-founder of the human rights organization, commented on the results of everyone's hard work by saying:
