Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Cherkasy Zoo has provided shelter to 70 displaced animals. However, the zoo lacks funds to keep them. Previously, the zoo could pay for itself by selling tickets to visitors. Now, the number of visitors has decreased by a factor of three, while the needs of the institution have grown significantly. In addition to food for newly arrived residents, the zoo is also trying to raise funds for the construction of new enclosures.

Yevhenii Kompanets from Cherkasy makes varenyky for soldiers at the frontline together with his family. He claims to be using a special family heritage recipe—the dumplings are tastier, and the dough remains fresh longer. The family makes up to 2,000 varenyky dumplings per week, sending them to the frontline in freezer bags.
