Most of the Russian weapons that hit the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia kill in an instant: the drones, the ballistic missiles, the glide bombs, the artillery shells. But Russian soldiers control another weapon they have never deployed, with the potential to be just as deadly: The nearby Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. These twin dangers — bombs and radiation — shadow families in Zaporizhzhia. Most of the youngest residents have never seen the inside of a classroom. Schools that suspended in-person classes during the COVID-19 pandemic more than four years ago continued online classes after the war started in 2022. So Zaporizhzhia is starting construction on a dozen subterranean schools capable of educating 12,000 students.
