"In September, during a patrol in Bakhmut itself (the city), the military found a cage with a bear in it on the territory of a private house. It was exhausted. No one knows how long he was without food or water, because everything was destroyed around him. His cage stayed intact and the military turned to animal protection organizations and thanks to UA Animals (Ukrainian animal welfare organization), who organized the rescue of the bear, his transportation to the shelter, we accordingly organized a place for Bakhmut (the bear), an enclosure in which he can be at peace, he has neighbours nearby whom he's getting acquainted with."

LEADIN:
A collection of animal sanctuaries around Lviv in western Ukraine is sheltering animals rescued from the frontlines of Russia's invasion.
STORYLINE:
The Home of Rescued Animals in Lviv (Domivka) is a charitable organization that rescues and rehabilitates wild and domestic animals.
With the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, abandoned pets also began arriving here.
Just a year after, "Domivka" had taken in around 6,000 animals.
Some of them found new homes abroad, others were settled elsewhere in Ukraine.
"Most of the cats from the Kherson region have already been settled," says volunteer, Anastasia Muntianova.
"But nevertheless, there are still other cats living here, who were also evacuated from the east and from other cities where active hostilities are taking place."
Workers and volunteers from the organization went on an expedition to rescue animals from the Kherson region following the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in June earlier this year.
Oksana Shapovalova and her husband both fled Russian forces from their native town of Nova Kakhovka in Kherson.
They now both volunteer here.
