June was usually a very sweet and emotional time for Ukrainian 🇺🇦 high school graduates 🧑🎓 Busy planning their graduation parties and choosing the right university to enroll in, they were ecstatic about their future. After the full-scale invasion of Russia, there is very little left of that mood.
💪 But still, Ukrainian youth keeps fighting and dreaming. There is nothing that can break their spirit. Anna Episheva, the aunt of the high school graduate Valerie, shares the story on her Facebook:
💬 'My niece was supposed to graduate this year from her high school. She and her friends planned the graduation event, bought dresses, and were looking forward to the big day... Then the Russians came. Her school was directly hit and destroyed on Feb 27th, 2022. Today she came back to what is left of her school and her plans for the graduation. Thank you, my dear Valerie, for being strong and brave, so proud of you and love you so much'
