Russian troops have been accused of burning as many as 30 horses alive after setting fire to a civilian stable in Ukraine
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and animal rights groups condemned the attack in Hostomel, a city just north of the capital Kyiv.
In a statement Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said: "Almost all horses were burnt alive in a stable in Hostomel, as Russian invaders burned it down. Only few of them escaped." According to local paper The Kyiv Independent, a total of 32 horses were inside at the time of the brutal attack and two made it out alive.
The owner of the stable 'Alexandra' told local media that she was order by Russian troops to leave her house at the beginning of the month, as they threatened to 'shoot all of the horses' if she did not comply. But after a friend went to check on the horses on Monday, she discovered all bar a few horses had been slaughtered after the stables were burnt down by Russian soldiers.
