    I am currently trying to update sites like Wikipedia and others on the zoos of the world. When it comes to Ukraine, in recent years many zoos have been closed down. Since Russias 2014 occupation of Crimea and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, by the Russian federation, have left many zoos closed and/or in desperate conditions. We all know about the larger zoos in the country, but what about the smaller zoos that lay unsupervised?

    Several sources reporting that due to the bombing and subsequent flooding of the dam in Nova Kahovka, all animals in the local zoo, except the birds, have drowned.
