Russia has sent a batch of Russian "teachers" to Luhansk Oblast, with the intent of Russifying Ukrainian children in the occupied territory.

Quote: "Most of the population left the region due to the military aggression of the Russian Federation, and those who remained have no desire to expose their children to Russian propaganda. It is no secret that the goal of Russian schools is the Russification of Ukrainian children, because no one recognises documentation issued by these schools.

The Kremlin sent a new batch of Russian "teachers" to Luhansk Oblast. About 106 teachers will work in the Luhansk region that was captured after 24 February."

Details: The Centre also added that over the past week, the number of families with children who left the temporarily occupied territories for unoccupied parts of Ukraine has significantly increased.

Over the past week, a daily average of 500 children and their parents left through checkpoints in the southern regions of Ukraine. The reason is the onset of the "school year" and the lack of prospects for temporarily occupied territories.

Background:

• With the school year set to begin on 1 September, Russian occupiers on the temporarily occupied territory of Kharkiv Oblast are threatening to take away children whose parents refuse to send them to school.
