USAID noted that Russia’s Vlamidir Putin’s brutal war against Ukraine has created tremendous challenges for educators and students across the country.
“Thousands of schools have been damaged or destroyed and according to UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action for Children up to 2.8 million children have been displaced from their homes.
“Although distance learning resumed two weeks after Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022, many young people struggle to access remote education options.
“Due to a shortage of devices and, increasingly, as a result of Russian Federation’s strikes against civilian infrastructure”, the Agency said.
Meanwhile, since the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, USAID has remained committed to helping Ukraine win the war against the Kremlin’s aggression.
And, ultimately, win the peace by emerging strong and capable of continuing to advance as sovereign, independent, democratic, and the prosperous society, free to choose its own future.
