Last month, More Than 1,000 Kharkiv pupils started their new school year at five underground stations that were turned into the so-called " metro-schools".
The Students are ferried by buses, and study in two shifts: the early one starts at 09:00 local time, followed by the late one at 13:00. Police and rescuers are on duty at each underground station.
" Lessons in the metro. Could you ever Imagine That Ukrainian children will study in The Underground ? This is our reality now, " Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said at The Time .
Kharkiv - Ukraine 's second-largest City located only 30km (19 miles) from The Russian Border - was heavily bombed during The First weeks of Russian President Vladimir Putin 's invasion launched in February 2022.
Local residents even witnessed fierce Street Fighting in The City - When Russian troops attempted to capture Kharkiv .
