Tens of thousands of traumatized animal companions and their guardians have fled the conflict in Ukraine while countless others have been left behind in war zones.

PETA Germany and its partner organizations have been on the ground since the war began, doing all that they can to get animals and their human family members to safety and delivering food and supplies to those who are still at risk from the war.
