KYIV—

A new school year has started in Ukraine but thousands of children in the war-torn east are unable to attend because of ongoing¹ clashes with pro-Russia rebels. In Ukraine's capital, patriotic² education has become the norm along with donations to support injured security forces fighting to take back rebel-held areas.

Schoolchildren across most of Ukraine mark the first day of classes with patriotic performances and gifts of flowers for their teachers.

乌克兰的学生们用爱国演出和献给教师的鲜花和礼物纪念恢复上课的第一天。

But, unlike in the capital, authorities say over 900 schools in the rebel-held, war-torn east are still closed because of fighting.

但与首都的境况不同，当局表示东部超过900所受到叛军控制,饱受战争蹂躏的学校因为战事仍然被迫关闭。

Kyiv's mayor, former boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, says about 4,500 children of refugees from the east are in the city's schools this year.
