Ukrainian celebrities shared photos with graduating students
On May 29, Ukrainian schools held their "last bell" ceremonies, which were attended by well-known Ukrainian media personalities along with their children.
This year, many Ukrainian celebrities, including journalists, entertainers, and government officials, officially sent their older children off into independent adult life.
Popular parents actively shared emotional family photos, archival memories, and heartfelt wishes on their official social media pages.
Popular Ukrainian TV host and actor Andriy Dzhedzula posted a photo with his son Daniel, who was born during his marriage to Santa Dimopulos.
The artist shared that the young man has successfully completed 11th grade, so important final exams now lie ahead of him. The TV host sincerely wished the boy success, strength, and maximum mental focus during the crucial testing.
“The first one is off! My first graduate. The last bell… Ahead lies the National Multidisciplinary Test (NMT), the culmination of a year of hard work, teamwork with teachers and tutors in specialized subjects, and most importantly—Dani’s desire to prepare well and do his best to achieve a great result! Son, you’re awesome!” the actor said in his emotional address to his son.
Well-known television journalist and news anchor Marichka Padalko also attended the school’s graduation ceremony. This year, her daughter Maria graduated from high school.
“Maria finished 11th grade,” the celebrity mother noted succinctly in her post.
The journalist shared fresh photos from the celebration with her followers and also added a touching archival photo of her daughter taken back when she was in elementary school.
Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, also posted a large family photo on the day of the last bell.
The official attended the ceremony with his adult daughter Valeria, who had just graduated, as well as his son and wife.
The Ombudsman noted that this is the second time he has seen his child off into adulthood, as his son Danylo graduated from school five years ago.

The National Police will prosecute the occupiers for torture and sexual violence in Melitopol.
