Dear KI community members,

We noticed on our community survey, we received a number of requests for more multimedia journalism – especially videos. Because of your responses, we wanted to share more of our video reporting on Patreon and give you early, exclusive access. Later this week, we’ll publish this video publicly on YouTube, but we wanted to hear from you first.

This story follows a school in Maryanivka, a town on the border with Belarus, and how school officials are working to reopen the school after Russian occupation.
