The bombings and shelling damaged 548 educational institutions, 72 of which were completely destroyed. The most damaged were in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kyiv, Kherson, Chernihiv regions and in the city of Kyiv. In addition, more than 40 children’s facilities were destroyed, including medical facilities, art schools, sports facilities, and libraries.
