Empty classrooms as Ukraine starts new school year
The new school year has started in Ukraine.
Since Russia's invasion of the country on 24 February, more than 280 schools have been totally destroyed and 2,300 damaged.
Hanna Kudrinova is an English Teacher in Odesa. She told Newsday: “Not all of the teachers, not all of the students come back to our classrooms. In Odesa region there are a lot of schools which do not have bomb shelters and we continue to have long-distance learning.”
