As a result, it was impossible to deliver feed or perform maintenance. At that time, 4.7 million birds perished. During the occupation, the Russians looted the poultry farm. They removed modern equipment and vehicles from the site and destroyed the infrastructure. After the region was liberated, the “Ukrlandfarming” Group of Companies resumed production at the facility.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
