Ukrainian border guards have rescued two storks from snow and later transferred them to rehabilitation in the Cherkasy city zoo.

This is reported by the press service of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine on its Facebook page.

"The officers of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine spotted at the training ground two storks, which were not strong enough to fly to southern skies. Birds were weak, but were not afraid of people. The border guards took them to the training establishment to save from cold and hunger," the statement reads.

Later the birds were transferred to a temporary location – the Cherkasy city zoo.
