To the shelter! Russian airstrikes are changing life in Kyiv schools

In Kyiv, children quickly respond to air raid alarms by heading to shelters, leaving behind toys and bikes. The school principal emphasizes the importance of staying calm and reassuring students during these tense moments. Despite the ongoing war, students adapt to spending more time in shelters than classrooms. The UMKA school is one of the few with adequate underground facilities, allowing for a smoother transition during alarms. Recent Russian attacks have intensified, prompting parents to voice concerns about safety conditions in schools. The situation remains challenging as children learn to cope with the realities of war while continuing their education.
