What is known about the amazing story of the rescue of the owls, symbols of DIU
According to the representative of Ukrainian military intelligence, Andriy Yusov, the birds named Arey and Magura were handed over to the Kyiv Zoo on August 1.
It is noted that the DIU owls will live in a special aviary.
Yusov emphasized that the birds were saved by the soldiers of the 92nd Ukrainian Armed Forces during a combat mission in the village of Liptsi in the Kharkiv region.
Owls were found in a house destroyed by shelling of the criminal army of the Russian Federation on the territory liberated from the Russian occupiers.
The birds were in a closed cage, were hungry and exhausted. The Ukrainian military evacuated them and handed them over to representatives of the DIU.
They saved two young owls that would have died without Ukrainian defenders. Actually, our soldiers save the lives not only of Ukrainian people, but also of our smaller brothers, Yusov emphasized.
He added that since the owl is a symbol of the Military Intelligence of Ukraine, the soldiers of the 92nd Brigade handed over the rescued birds to the care of the head of the Military Intelligence Service of the Ukrainian Military Academy Kyryl Budanov.

We rehabilitate animals, adapt them and even in such difficult times, we try to do everything to make them feel good, - the director of the zoo, Kyrylo Trantin, emphasized for his part.
