Today, September 1, Ukrainian children go to school. Some will study online, others in person. But, unfortunately, due to the war in Ukraine, some students will have to go to school in the occupied territories..

Ukrainian TV presenter, lead singer of The Kolya - Kolya Serga - directly from his place of service, from the front line, turned to schoolchildren to give them an orientation for the academic year.

The performer emphasized that students also protect Ukraine, first of all, when they receive new knowledge.. This is how they save the country from stupidity and ignorance. If the weapon of the military is an automatic machine, then the student is a textbook.

" We are the military, you are a student, our tool is a machine gun, bayraktar, haymars, your tool is a textbook, notebook and pen. We fight for our independence on the battlefield, you fight for our independence as you learn and develop. It is you who are the future of our Motherland, it depends on you what it will be like,” said the performers.. The singer also told what to do to students who are now in the territories temporarily occupied by Russia. He noted that it is better to "

" Wherever you are now, learn.

If in a free part of Ukraine - study Ukrainian culture, language, traditions in depth. You now have such an opportunity and such a luxury Nothing enriches a person like a connection with the roots. If you are on the temporarily occupied Ukrainian land, be a partisan of knowledge. Study everything they give, but remember that you are Ukrainian. And let this knowledge be your amulet against attempts to deceive and conquer you.. If you study abroad, think about what knowledge you can bring back home to Ukraine. We will win only together,"
