"The invaders cruelly dealt with most of the wild animals that were kept there, but the bear remained alive," they said. "Three meters from his enclosure, everything is destroyed."

After treatment at the Wild Animal Rescue Center, the bear will be sent for rehabilitation to the Arden Predator Park in Khmelnytskyi.

"We hope that the bear's treatment will be successful and he will recover soon," animal rights activists wrote.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in the Kherson region, in the liberated village of Visokopilya, Ukrainian military filmed the consequences of the russian occupation. The video shows a partially destroyed solar power plant and about 7 dead cows.
