"Of course, we really don't want these children to loosen their ties with their homeland,” Stark-Watzinger said.

“So, we offer them parallel learning in Ukrainian. In big cities, local Ukrainian organisations run Sunday schools for them, and many children continue to study online in Ukrainian schools."
