💔 Don’t stop talking about Komyshuvakha! We all saw the ruins of an underground school in Komyshuvakha that Russia struck with 9 guided aerial bombs while people were gathered there to receive humanitarian aid. 🇺🇦 This is what the school looked like just over a year ago, when it opened its doors for the first time. 🔽 The school was built on the grounds of the Komyshuva Gymnasium “Dzherelo,” which was destroyed by Russian forces in July 2023. On the first day of classes, Ukraine’s Minister of Social Policy, Denys Uliutin, visited the school and personally inspected how well it met the principles of accessibility, safety, and inclusivity. He stated that day: “The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child guarantees every child the right to education. Even amid the war, as Russia destroys childhoods, Ukraine, with the support of international partners, is ensuring that these rights are upheld. Thanks to safe educational spaces, children can interact, learn, and develop. This is the foundation of our future.” Ivan Fedorov, head of Ukraine’s State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development, said today that some Russian aerial bombs weighed three tons and had three times the destructive power of a ballistic missile — something underground schools in Ukraine are not designed to withstand in a direct hit. 33 people were killed, and more than 50 others may still be trapped under the rubble.
