The Mayor gave no details on When The Underground school would open, and how many pupils would be able to study there.
Last month, More Than 1,000 Kharkiv pupils started their new school year at five underground stations that were turned into the so-called " metro-schools".
The Students are ferried by buses, and study in two shifts: the early one starts at 09:00 local time, followed by the late one at 13:00. Police and rescuers are on duty at each underground station.
" Lessons in the metro. Could you ever Imagine That Ukrainian children will study in The Underground ? This is our reality now, " Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said at The Time .
Kharkiv - Ukraine 's second-largest City located only 30km (19 miles) from The Russian Border - was heavily bombed during The First weeks of Russian President Vladimir Putin 's invasion launched in February 2022.
Local residents even witnessed fierce Street Fighting in The City - When Russian troops attempted to capture Kharkiv .
