On the night of July 4, 2025, kyiv suffered yet another massive attack by russia, using missiles and drones. Among the affected sites was Lyceum No. 22. This was already the second strike on this educational institution. At the time of filming, school staff, students, parents, volunteers, and municipal services were working to eliminate the consequences of the attack. The lyceum’s pedagogical organizer, Yaroslava Savchenko, was among the first to arrive at the site immediately after the explosion. Her testimony is a living chronicle of the community’s first response.

"Since 2014 I have never felt the war the way I feel it now," she says. "This is already the second strike on our school. I opened Telegram and saw what had happened. I got dressed and ran here."

A special place belongs to the participation of children in the recovery efforts: "I was struck by this:  even first graders came and asked for masks, because they said they ‘know what to do.’ Graduates, students, even the very youngest — everyone was here from the early morning. These are not just words. This is a profound sense of responsibility and support.”
