“According to him, the enemy in the community attacked cultural centers, kindergartens, and administration buildings. The Russians carried out airstrikes on all five schools: four were direct hits, and in one case shells fell on the school yard, significantly damaging the building. There was a comprehensive school in Sviatohirsk, which the Russians destroyed with direct tank fire,” the head of the community said.
He explained that at that time, in 2022, the city of Sviatohirsk was partially under occupation, there were no hostilities, and Russian tanks simply drove in and started hitting the empty school.
“It was demonstrative destruction for the sake of destruction. It became clear that the enemy is not fighting with soldiers, but with our nation. They turned the school into a toilet and a piggery, and left inscriptions on the walls about the so-called Russian measure,” says Rybalkin.
He stated that currently three schools continue to work remotely in the territory of the community, two schools have suspended their activities. But the children who left the community continue to receive education in educational institutions of Sviatohirya.
