President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insists that while Ukraine will restore all of the schools – and other educational establishments – that Russia has destroyed and Ukrainian people will preserve their civilization, the Russian society will remain crippled for generations to come.

Details: Zelenskyy mentioned that as a result of the Russian strikes in Mykolaiv on Friday morning, the buildings of two universities – the pedagogical and shipbuilding universities – were destroyed.

Quote: "There are no such words in normal human language that can describe the condition to which the Russian state has degraded. It is a double crime – to destroy pedagogical universities so that there won't be educational institutions and new educators cannot be trained…But let the terrorists not hope that it will give them anything.

We will definitely restore everything that they destroyed, each of the more than 2,000 educational institutions, all kindergartens, all schools, institutes, universities. And most importantly, we will preserve our humanity and our civility. But Russian society, with so many murderers and executioners, will remain crippled for generations, and through its own fault."

Background: Several blasts were heard in the city of Mykolaiv on the morning of 15 July. The Russians hit two universities, two people were injured.
