Ukrainian zoo workers found shot to death and dumped in barricaded room, say owners

The Feldman Ecopark in Kharkiv said in a statement the workers bodies were discovered "barricaded in the back room".

Kharkiv, in Ukraine's north-east near the Russia border, has been witness to some of the fiercest fighting in the war.

"When the war started, [the two employees] stayed in the Ecopark and helped to feed the animals," said the statement posted on social media and the park's website.

"We arrived at the Ecopark on March 7 and did not find them there.

"Until the last, we had been hoping that nothing irremediable had happened, and they were able to survive

"But yesterday we received confirmation that their bodies had been found.

"Our guys were shot by the enemies, and their bodies had been barricaded in the back room."


The ABC has not been able to independently verify the claims.

The only objectives are destroying civilian infrastructure, and terrorizing, displacing, and killing civilians.
