Abstract

This research highlights the detrimental effects of the Russian Federation’s aggressive actions on the Ukrainian education system, which not only threaten the stability of Ukraine’s educational landscape but also the broader European educational realm. Such aggressions have pronounced and lasting repercussions on pedagogy, educational infrastructure, and the overall well-being of the academic community. To address these challenges, the study recommends: (1) immediate cessation of Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s educational structures, ensuring continuation of Ukrainian-led education in occupied regions; (2) enhanced monitoring and documentation of these aggressions by law enforcement, national authorities, and international entities; (3) prioritizing the creation of an evidence base through comprehensive, independent expert evaluations, fostering collaborations with global forensic experts and European forensic networks; and (4) directing cases of these armed assaults to the national justice system, which can subsequently be the foundation for international legal appeals, potentially invoking the Rome Statute’s provisions concerning deliberate attacks on educational facilities. Ultimately, the study underscores the imperative of international collaboration in fortifying Ukrainian educational institutions, safeguarding the rights to education, and championing the cause of educators and students in these challenging times.
