(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the President's wife, Olena Zelenska, on Telegram.

“Kharkiv region is Ukraine's leader in the construction of underground educational institutions. Currently, 43 underground schools are being built here, financed as part of the comprehensive”Offline School" policy, of which 5 projects are being implemented with the support of The Howard G. Buffett Foundation in the Lozivska and Blyznyukivska communities, for which I cannot thank Ukraine's friend Howard Buffett enough," Olena Zelenska said after visiting one of the underground educational institutions.

According to the first lady, underground schools are not“gloomy pictures of life without windows,” but an opportunity to maintain a normal rhythm of life - to go to school, meet friends and teachers in person, attend clubs or extra classes.
