As stated, during the occupation, the Russians stole or destroyed almost all of the park's property. Some of the park's employees left for the territory controlled by Ukraine - others remained on the territory of the national park until the very liberation from the occupiers. Director Serhiy Skoryk went through Russian captivity and torture: after his release, he helped people get out of the occupied territories.
Reserve employees independently extinguished fires caused by hostilities.
