On February 24, 2022, the treacherous military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation instantly shattered the peaceful life of Ukrainians and their beloved bird neighbors – white storks. That year, a significant number of stork pairs in Ukraine, like people, likely lost their homes due to enemy destruction.
