On April 24, Susie Britton, a journalist from the United States of America who works in the media industry and is currently researching the consequences of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, visited the State Tax University.

The visit began with a tour of the university grounds. The head of the STU, Dmytro Serebrianskyi, personally met the foreign guest and guided her through the campus, showing the extent of the destruction inflicted on the university during the hostilities in the city, including a visit to the Central Building, which suffered the most damage.

Dmytro Mykolayovych spoke about the events during the occupation of Irpin, the destruction, the challenges for the staff, as well as the reconstruction process and future plans.

"We did not give up. Today we are restoring the destroyed infrastructure and looking to the future with faith and strength of spirit," emphasized Dmytro Serebrianskyi.

The American journalist was impressed by both the scale of the destruction and, at the same time, the resilience of the university staff. She was particularly touched by the mutual support and human stories.

During the conversation, Susie asked many important questions: whether educational institutions are deliberate targets for russian military, how events unfolded from the inside, and how educators overcome the challenges of war.

"What I saw and heard cannot be felt from screens. Only here, on the ground, do you understand the true scale of pain, loss, and at the same time, the greatness of human resilience," the journalist shared her impressions.

Today, STU continues to work despite all challenges: it is recovering, teaching, supporting, and moving forward. We preserve the memory of what we have experienced and build the future - together.
