Animal rights activists from the public organization UAnimals and the Serhiy Prytula Charitable Foundation launched a collection for "kittens" in the Armed Forces and cats in shelters.
70% of the funds will go to the purchase of mobile homes for air defense brigades, and 30% to the reconstruction of shelters for animals that have suffered from Russian shelling, according to the website of the Shelter Fund.
It is noted that this is the first joint collection that will help not only the Ukrainian military, but also animals that are so often saved by soldiers
"Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 20 shelters and rehabilitation centers in various regions of Ukraine have been destroyed, and their reconstruction will save the lives of tens of thousands of animals," the collection's description reads.
So far, it has already been possible to collect more than 1.1 million hryvnias.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that one of seven horses evacuated by animal rights defenders from the front-line town of Vugledar in Donetsk region, died of stress and exhaustion barely reaching Kyiv.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, the Kyiv public organization Yapomoga handed over 800 kg of fodder for the military, which are the first to enter the occupied territories, so they immediately feed the exhausted animals.
