Russian forces struck the Feldman Eco-Park near the city of Kharkiv, wounding and killing dozens of animals, Oleksandr Feldman, a Ukrainian member of parliament and founder of the eco-park, reported on Jan. 1.

"The predators’ winter enclosure and the birds’ winter housing were completely destroyed. The lions were injured. Everything there is destroyed," Feldman told Suspilne after a Russian glide bomb struck the eco-park, which is located on the outskirts of Kharkiv in the village of Lisne.

"As for the birds, if not all of them died, then most did. A shell hit the aviary," he added.

Feldman also said that one of the eco-park volunteers sustained minor head lacerations amid the attack.

Russian strikes have previously targeted the eco-park. In July 2024, two eco-park employees were injured in a Russian drone strike on the eco-park's territory.

Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, over 100 animals and five people, including employees and volunteers, have been killed by Russian forces on the eco-park's grounds.

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, animals and livestock has immensely suffered from the consequences of Russian attacks.

  2. ruzzians attack animals thinking it mocks Ukrainian’s love of all animals. This cruelty only adds to the hatred so many have for orcs! It also shows their ignorance.

  4. No one fucks with Kookaburras and gets away with it.

    That’s a donation from me to Ukraine from Australia today. Sláva Ukraíni!

  5. Sure… most of these animals MUST have been Nazis… and are therefore legitimate targets. The same goes for little children in kindergarten… sure.

    Those fck RuZZian bastards… they are all and exclusively scum.

  7. Oh my, that is sad news, i remember buying several online tickets for the park in the early days when they asked for donations keeping the park alive.

    ( I hope i dont mix it up with another ECO park as the website deign was different as far as i remember ).

    Maybe we can do that again helping them a bit, just buy some tickets or donate directly

  8. Glad there’s other Aussies here spotting the Kookaburras. Fuck Russia.

  9. Bombing a zoo and killing innocent animals on the first day of the new year is the true great russian culture

  10. Russia Truly has the best in mind for Ukraine! These animals were clearly a dangerous to all the locals living there and they heroically fired artillery at them to save them from this grave danger! /s

  12. It was secret NATO base where they trained lions to eat Russians and birds to shit on Soviet monuments/s

  14. War is the worst thing the human species does to itself. It’s heartbreaking. In all wars, men do (most of) the fighting, but the women, children, and often the animals also suffer greatly. I think about how many millions of horses and mules have died in wars over the centuries. And the Russians are getting horses killed right now.

  16. Fucking Russian Kookaburra botherers! Fuck those cunts.
