Children in Crimea forced to learn Putin's speeches

In the temporarily occupied Crimea, children in educational institutions are forced to learn speeches by Russian president Vladimir Putin.

"What is very threatening for us is that they [occupiers] actually force them to learn Putin's speeches, translating them into children's language, in secondary schools or even in kindergartens," Tamila Tasheva, Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, said during a briefing at the Ukraine Media Center – Ukrinform.

As noted, the occupiers trying to impose on the peninsula residents a narrative about Putin as the leader of Crimea, so the portraits of Putin are placed on billboards and citylights all over the occupied peninsula.
