“It is safe. A thousand children can study there. And thanks to this, third-graders, second-graders, and the youngest children were able to study together. Together, offline, so that all social skills are available. This is very important – so that the war does not take away the chance for our children to become successful adults. We are building other such schools in front-line regions and in Zaporizhzhia region in particular. We will talk with partners next week for the sake of more air defense, for the sake of peace to come sooner," Zelensky emphasized.
Earlier it was reported that the construction of five underground schools is being completed in Zaporizhzhia, one of them in the village of Balabyne, just 20 km from the front line.
