"One of the kindergartens sustained significant destruction – nearly 60% of its windows were blown out. According to Vasyl Bilohura, head of the city’s Department of Education, this kindergarten was among the first to reopen in 2022 after the full-scale invasion, as it had a shelter and had not been previously damaged. It used to serve around 200 children every day," the statement reads.

The situation is further complicated by a power outage. As a result, several school camps are currently operating on a reduced schedule and without organized meals. Some preschools have temporarily suspended their educational activities.
