Staryi Saltiv Vocational Agrarian Lyceum

On the first days of the full-scale invasion, the settlement of Staryi Saltiv, 30 km east of Kharkiv, was occupied by the Russians. On May 2, 2022, Ukrainian troops de-occupied the settlement. However, all summer battles near Staryi Saltiv continued. The Russians were on the other side of the Siverskyi Donets river. During the retreat in May, they blew up the bridge that connected the city to the other shore. At that time, the Russians were actively shelling the city and nearby settlements of the Staryi Saltiv community. Life returned to the city only after the Kharkiv counteroffensive operation in September 2022, when Ukrainian troops liberated almost the entire territory of the Kharkiv region.
