In Sumy region, foresters from a raid brigade in Trostyanets forestry found the remains of eight illegally hunted roe deer.

Poachers were found with the help of traces left after the hunt and photo traps located in the forest, reports the Northern Forest Office of the state enterprise "Forests of Ukraine" in Telegram.
