School No.3 in Krasnohorivka, a city in the east of Ukraine, was shelled on the night of May 25, just before the last day of school. The school’s director, Nina Yurchenko, has taught there for several decades and gave Hromadske’s journalists a tour of the damaged school.
“We celebrated the end of the school year here. There were a lot of guests. It wasn’t a typical celebration, we all agreed that we all felt it,” she told Hromadske. “The next day the school was shelled.”
After shelling in 2014, Krasnohorivka’s School No.3 was repaired with the help of international organizations, volunteers, and the schoolchildren themselves. Now the school must be repaired again. Although the director hopes classes will resume soon, it is still unclear as to whether or not the children will be able to return to the school in the Fall.
