Odesa port workers have rescued animals affected by the flooding caused by Russia's destruction of Kakhovka dam, the Odesa Zoo said on June 20.

"Odesa Sea Port Administration employees brought rescued animals who were affected by flooding from the Nova Kakhovka Reservoir," the zoo said.

A Eurasian coot chick, newts, marsh turtles and snakes have found temporary shelter at the zoo. They will be released into the wild at a later date.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
