Project 1882's work in Ukraine
In Ukraine, animal rights issues have been a low priority for a long time, even before the war started.
Since 2023, Project 1882 has been active in the country, aiming to work on both short-term efforts, such as providing disaster relief and support to Ukrainian volunteer groups helping animals directly affected by the war, as well as long-term initiatives to make a real difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst.
