Several schools and kindergartens in Kyiv were damaged in a Russian attack on the night of 21-22 October. As a result, some educational institutions are switching to remote learning or operate as invincibility centres [heated premises stocked with food and power banks to assist residents facing hardships due to power cuts – ed.].
