Kyiv, Ukraine CNN —Kateryna Pylypenko prepared two backpacks for her youngest son’s first day of school on Friday. We were told it should contain water, a toy… and something to eat while they wait in the shelter for the air raid alarm to end,” Pylypenko told CNN. Physical education is not the same now, because what kind of physical education is there in an apartment?” he told CNN. Dmytro’s mom, Viktoriia Ukrainska, told CNN she would not send him to school even if the option was available to her. “It sounds strange, but I really miss school,” Dmytro told CNN.
