The Russian occupying forces have blocked the operation of the Chornobayi poultry farm, which holds 3 million chickens. On 6 March, the Russian forces fired at staff who were transporting feed for the farm. On Monday-Tuesday, the chickens will start dying of hunger.

Details: Electricity to the poultry farm is cut off, and staff are not allowed to return to work.

Quote: "The poultry farm is unfortunately unable to keep the birds alive any longer..

"It is obvious that today or tomorrow, they will start dying en masse. We are talking about 3 million chickens. It is a serious environmental problem. This could become a huge environmental catastrophe, as the farm is only 10 km away from Kherson."
