In Belgorod, by September 1, school windows will be covered with sand

In Belgorod, by the beginning of the school year, the windows of the first floors of schools will be covered with sandblasts, which should protect them from the consequences of artillery and rocket fire, and the rest of the windows will be covered with armored film, said Yevgeny Babakin, director of the largest school in the Belgorod region, Education Center No. 1.

According to him, such security measures are mandatory for all primary and secondary educational institutions in the region.

At the same time, according to federal mass media, full-time and mixed education will begin on September 1 only in those educational institutions of the Belgorod region that are located more than 20 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. In Belgorod itself, learning in schools will be organized in two or three streams, and lesson time will be reduced by 5-10 minutes.

• The Belgorod region of Russia, bordering Ukraine, and the city of Belgorod are regularly shelled by the Armed Forces, and fighters of the so-called Russian Volunteer Corps and the “Freedom of Russia” legion, fighting on the side of Ukraine, made several raids in the region, as a result of which Russian border guards were killed and captured military equipment. Residents of the Belgorod Region have repeatedly appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin to protect them and protect them from war. At the same time, the authorities of the region urge local residents to evacuate to safer places, and temporary accommodation points for displaced persons are open in Belgorod.
