Exhausting school year of bombs and alerts ends in Ukraine
Teachers and pupils in Kyiv show extraordinary resilience in the face of war, despite the Russian invasion that wreaked havoc on children's emotional well-being.
One of nearly four million Ukrainian schoolchildren, 13-year-old Sofia Klochko, an eighth grader at School 61 in central Kyiv, is completing her third academic year in a row with her country at war, marked in the capital by stressful air alerts.
"It was really difficult for me, but I adapted to it," she says.
