In captured Berdiansk, invaders forcing parents to enroll children in propaganda-ridden schools

In the temporarily captured Berdiansk, "juvenile affairs committees" were created to increase pressure on the local residents who do not wish to send their children to schools run by the occupation administration.

That’s according to the Berdiansk City Council in exile, Ukrinform reports

"Thanks to the committees and fake courts set up in town, as the occupiers boast, local parents are already being fined," the statement reads.

As noted, although the invaders call it "protection of the rights of minors," this is actually about forcibly imposing on Ukrainian children education in artificially created schools involving constant propaganda under the supervision of the Russian military.

The task of the newly-created bodies is to legalize raids targeting families where parents educate their children under the Ukrainian curriculum, the City Council emphasizes. After all, during such checks, the invaders focus on laptops and tablets children use to study. The occupiers also check children’s phones for any Ukrainian content.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the majority of teachers in Berdiansk did not bow down to the invaders’ demands to cooperate.
