Missile strikes and power outages are a new reality that Ukrainian students have to adapt to.
‘Messy peace’ or total victory: Russia, Ukraine need to pick their battles as war drags on, say analystsSome teachers said the war’s escalation has had a bigger impact on older students, who are more aware of the situation.
Student Mariia Chaikina said: “It’s much easier to live in war with your friends, with someone who can support you and with someone who understands you. Because I think only Ukrainians can understand me at all.” According to the United Nations, some 1.5 million children in Ukraine are at risk of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions.
With millions of Ukrainians displaced, many children are being forced to continue their studies in new communities and often in new languages, said observers. Educators said students can adapt quickly to these extraordinary circumstances, but they hope this lesson in resilience will soon be over.
