Recall that on the morning of July 11, Russian terrorists attacked Odessa with drones once again. As a result, civilian infrastructure, residential and administrative buildings, and vehicles were damaged.

Additionally, the local equestrian club's stable was completely destroyed, housing five horses and four ponies during the attack. The owner's beloved mare, named Camelia, tragically died, while another horse was severely injured.

Thanks to the rescue efforts, other animals were saved and relocated to the 'Stetson' club, which also provided shelter for dogs that were traumatized during the incident.

It is noteworthy that Igor Bilyakov has repeatedly taken in animals rescued from cruel owners by activists.
