In occupied parts of Ukraine, Russian forces have imposed a new Moscow-backed school curriculum, eliminating lessons in Ukrainian language and culture. But some teachers have taken their lessons underground, offering clandestine online or in-person classes to thousands of students.
A barrage of Russian missiles and drones struck across Ukraine on the night of November 16-17. Standing amid destroyed and heavily damaged houses, a man in Mykolayiv told RFE/RL how he was helping to save a neighbor and her child from burning debris. The woman was eventually pronounced dead.
