Today, it’s one of Ukraine’s top educational institutions.  It trains a new generation of police officers, lawyers, and other security sector professionals. Among its cadets and high school students are children from privileged categories.

During the visit, Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk met with kids whose parents died while on duty, kids with family members who participated in combat, and individuals who have been affected by war or forced to relocate.

“It is a privilege to stand beside you all, the next generation of Ukraine’s defenders. You have faced many hurdles and are now pursuing your studies, carrying on the legacy of your parents,” declared the official.
