Pentru prima dată în cei 34 de ani de când este învățătoare, Lydia Prokopenko nu și-a văzut – în 2022 – elevii de clasa întâi absolvind.

KYIV -- In 2022, for the first time in her 34 years as a teacher, Lydia Prokopenko didn't get to see her first-graders graduate. Instead, her elementary school in eastern Ukraine was shut down, and she was forced into early retirement by a full-scale Russian military invasion. Her home village, Studenok, was just kilometers from intense fighting in the nearby Holy Mountains National Nature Park, where Russian troops soon wrested control of the park's wooded cliffs.
