Quote: "The enemy has ramped up filtering measures in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts. In particular, FSB representatives have arrived in the settlements of Pishchanivka and Poima in Kherson Oblast. Large-scale searches of residential buildings and telephone checks are being carried out. The occupiers are paying special attention to people whose relatives have left for the unoccupied part of Ukraine."

Details: In addition, the General Staff say the occupiers have introduced mandatory "cadet classes" in many schools in Kherson Oblast, starting from the first grade. Students are required to wear uniforms and attend additional classes on "patriotic" education.

Pro-Russian locals with no teacher training, who are mostly over 50, are being hired due to the shortage of teachers. To comply with Russian law, they are enrolled as distance learners at specialised universities in Russia.
