Local Ukrainian school reacts to Russian invasion

Locally, many Ukrainian organizations are uniting to pray and show support for Ukraine, including one school filled with children who are broken up by what's happening. “Ukraine is a very beautiful country and we don’t want it ruined by Russia’s army or Putin,” says 16 year old student, Yuriy Tukalevskyy. “Russia is putting bombs to houses and in a second, people are dead,” says 6 year old, Eva Cox. Students young and old at Ridna Shkola, the Cleveland School of Ukrainian Studies, are devastated by what they’re seeing. Cox says, “People killing each other is bad.” “It’s terrible seeing my people and my architecture and the culture of Ukraine being ruined by an army,” says Tukalevskyy. The school is filled with Ukrainian pride, made up of kindergarten through 11th grade students with Ukrainian heritage. They come here once a week to learn everything from language, grammar and culture, to history and geography. Most still have family living in Ukraine and are thankful for the support they’ve been receiving. READ MORE: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/nat...
