The private zoo built by businessman Mikhail Pinchuk will be opened next year.
And it is already outdated.
He said that he visited European zoos while choosing exhibit designs, but obviously he liked only 'historic exhibits' - for example, bear exhibit in Prague zoo.
The species planned are his personal choice - among them are polar & brown bears, wolves (gray, Canadian black, Arctic), dholes, classic big cats, striped hyenas, African hunting dogs, giraffes, rhinos, reindeer, European bisons, elephants, primates (including orangutans), etc.
I'm afraid there would be no invertebrates & reptiles - the greedy apes don't like them.
Visitor activities, besides petting zoo, are: feeding animals with designated food (with carnivores - through the tubes as in private Yalta zoo, with ungulates such giraffes or elephants - directly from viewing area), riding elephants (of course in direct contact & with usage of bullhooks!), fishing etc.
SO what do you think about it?

no elephant breeding in the country since Kharkiv zoo female turned out to have false pregnancy.
