The brief
Ukraine's new school year has begun with children in Kyiv seeking shelter underground due to ongoing Russian missile strikes. The first day of school was disrupted by air raid alerts following overnight attacks. The New York Times describes these children as the lucky ones, as they have access to underground shelters.
However, the situation remains dire for many others. President Zelensky has criticized international partners for being 'on holiday' while the conflict persists. CNN and AP News both describe the constant threat of Russian fire, with air raid alerts shattering the first day of school in Kyiv.
The extent of the impact on education and the long-term effects on students are not yet clear.
