  "account": "Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, has reported that over 4,650 educational institutions in Ukraine have been damaged, and an additional 423 have been completely destroyed since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion. In a statement on social media, Lubinets emphasized that schools should not be targeted, and children should not have to fear attending classes or teachers delivering lessons amidst explosions. According to him, Russia is systematically attacking Ukrainian education, targeting schools, kindergartens, universities, and vocational education institutions. The Commissioner highlighted that such actions violate the principles of international humanitarian law. Furthermore, Lubinets pointed out that in the regions temporarily occupied by Russia, the nation compels children to follow its education system, propaganda, and a skewed version of history, denying them the right to learn according to Ukrainian standards. Lubinets stressed that Russia must be held accountable for every educational opportunity lost to Ukrainian children.",
