“I stood in the dean’s office, looking at equipment and documents. I did not know where it would be safer: indoors or in the car. I was afraid they would be lost if I took them with me. It seemed everything would be safer at the university. The dean’s office has been hit directly. All that’s left is ash. The classrooms and labs were destroyed. A state-of-the-art digital lab was brand-new. That was my personal loss, my pain, and my tragedy. It was my project. Our staff put their heart and soul into this. The university was almost razed to the ground. It hurts that the most important thing has been destroyed – human potential. We lost students, post-graduate students, and lecturers. They died,” recalls the vice-rector of the Pryazovskyi State Technical University.
