Igor Terekhov addresses Kharkiv residents on the occasion of the end of the school year

Address by Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov on the occasion of the end of the school year.

“For the third time, Kharkiv is ending the school year to the sound of air raid alarms. During this time, our city has demonstrated to the whole world that we are able to make the impossible come true for the sake of a child's smile.  

A year ago, no one could even imagine that subway stations could become a place where children can study, learn about the world, communicate with their peers, and most importantly, be safe. But we have succeeded! 
 
That's why I am proud of every little Kharkiv citizen who starts his or her day with the desire for knowledge. I am inspired by the graduates who have faced many challenges in their school life, but this has only strengthened them on their way to their dreams.
 
I pay tribute to the teachers who, against all odds, maintain the high level of Kharkiv school, turning computer monitors into real classrooms. I am grateful to those who give children knowledge in radiation shelters.
 
We believe in the Victory! We are bringing Victory closer!”
