As the war against Ukraine has progressed our hearts have been with the people under siege and we’ve been profoundly concerned for their well being as well as their pets and aquariums. The video shared below is fromPleco Ceramics战争后不久，开始描述战争的爆发，这阻止了他们到达哈尔科夫的奇特普莱科农场，此后被俄罗斯炸弹炸毁了。
With so many people being needlessly killed we didn’t want to make light of the human suffering by even talking about the pets and animals but we just received an email from衣领that we are compelled to share with the world. Makers of unique aquarium products under the水上射击Brand The Collar Company雇用了500多名员工，我们深深地被公民留在水族馆中，在商店里笨拙的故事所感动，并且通常会尽一切可能照顾他们的非人类同伴。
Below you can read the entire email from COLLAR’s Company media manager Lesya Nevolko, who has spent 12 days at the bomb shelter in a kindergarden with 120 other people.
衣领Company feels great pain as we talk about everything happening in Ukraine. You could see images of destruction and violence from besieged Ukrainian cities and towns which are under attack right now. As you know, the main office of COLLAR Company is located in Chernihiv, a small city in the north of Ukraine with a population of about 300 000 citizens, it borders Russia and Belarus. And from the first day of war Chernihiv was under heavy russian attack, our police offices and civil infrastructure objects such as houses, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, cinemas were shelled and hit with ballistic missiles.
2月24日，所有员工收到了公司管理层的消息，以待在家里，并尽一切可能保持安全。当俄罗斯军队通过边界并袭击了机场和军事物体时，施加了戒严令。可悲的是，衣领公司不得不停止其运营和制造。在这些情况下，该公司了解为宠物提供食物和其他必需品的所有重要性。除了照顾员工并向他们支付薪水，以便我们的团队可以度过艰难的时期。
Under shelling and air raid alerts COLLAR’s pet shops worked and pet owners in Chernihiv had an opportunity to buy food for their pets. For those, who couldn’t visit pet shops because they have been hiding at the bomb shelters from the very beginning until now, Yuriy Sinitsa, founder of COLLAR Company, with our team left packages with food at the entrance. As some animals were kept at our pet shops, Yuriy moved them to a safer place after destruction and shelling. 50 birds, 20 rats, 3 reptiles and 200 fish were moved and they survived. War couldn’t stop the love that Ukraine feels for the animals.
The Company also donated pet food to dog kennels in Chernihiv. Many people had to leave their houses because of destruction and bombing, and arrived as refugees to other countries, animals were left and taken to dog kennels by volunteers. Imagine that the whole dog kennels were left and no one stayed there to take care of animals.
领团的团队工作，直到我们在商店里吃宠物食品为止。一家商店被Airstrike摧毁，另一家商店在沉重的战斗中心，在购物中心被毁坏后，掠夺者偷走了所有幸存的商品。实际上，公司建造的体育综合体“ Chernihiv-arena”被炸弹和空袭摧毁了。
As the war started, Yuriy Sinitsa and his family decided to stay in Chernihiv and hide from attacks on the territory of the main office. They had a water and diesel generator, and Yuriy Sinitsa managed the company’s operations from the kitchen. After this region was shelled, they moved to the basement and spent 2 weeks there, including all family members and his 9-month old daughter. Family slept on the floor using wooden pallets and pet mattresses as a bed. Two cats and Lilu, a canine-assisted therapy dog, stayed with them. Yuriy Sinitsa celebrated his 45-h birthday with his family at the bomb shelter.
衣领Company does everything possible to stay in touch with a team of 596 members and support them using all possible ways. 255 people stayed in Chernihiv (43 %), 160 people temporarily moved to the Western part of Ukraine (27 %). We still couldn’t reach 158 people (26 %), because at the moment there is no water, gas, electricity, heating supplies in Chernihiv, and the main objects of civil infrastructure and supplies were under heavy attack.
19名员工(2%)加入军队来保护啊ur land and Ukrainian independence. 10 people (2 %) left the country. Yuriy Sinitsa says, the safety of employees is the Company’s priority now and he will do his utmost to keep the team.
Yuriy Sinitsa认为乌克兰将会站立，我们的国家将繁荣。乌克兰人将重建破坏的建筑物和房屋，战后乌克兰将以经济和技术方式恢复。尤里（Yuriy）承认，衣领公司可以从我们的团队开始开始所有工作。乌克兰人表示勇于爱护和保护其独立性，我们像以前一样团结一致，乌克兰人将站立。
