Zelenskyy: Russians attack Kyiv university, 160 students sheltered during strike
A Russian UAV struck one of Kyiv’s universities during daytime classes; no people were injured as 160 students were in a shelter, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported.
On the first day of the new academic year at the National University of Food Technologies in central Kyiv, a Russian strike occurred, damaging the university buildings. Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Andriiy Butenko confirmed the attack on social media, expressing gratitude to the institution's management and staff for ensuring the educational process continued despite the risks.
Butenko emphasized that the attack on an educational institution is more than just damaged walls or windows; it is a threat to the students, teachers, and staff. He highlighted the constant air raid alerts and shelling threats that directly impact the organization of studies, leading to various study formats such as in-person, remote, or blended learning across different regions.
The minister stated that each region determines the optimal study format based on its security situation, working closely with educational institutions to monitor changes and respond promptly. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had earlier reported that a Russian UAV had struck a university in Kyiv during daytime classes, with no injuries as 160 students were seeking shelter.
