The latest developments in Russia’s war on Ukraine. All times EDT.

12:15 a.m. Despite the ongoing war against Russia, many Ukrainian schools will reopen on Sept. 1, reports The Kyiv Independent.

“As the start of the school year approaches, Russia continues to wage war in Ukraine and intense battles unfold in the east and south,” reports the news site. “Though a sense of normalcy has returned in cities further away from the front line, like Kyiv and Lviv, indiscriminate Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure have remained a reality across the country.”

Not all Ukrainian children will be returning to class, notes the site.

“Nearly two-thirds of children in Ukraine have had to flee their homes, according to UNICEF…” said the site. “And at least 379 children have been killed by Russia’s war, according to Ukraine’s General Prosecutor.”
