Quote: "Another batch of students from temporarily occupied Mariupol has been taken to Russia by the Kremlin’s henchmen. This time it is 119 Ukrainian high-school students who will be 're-educated' during propaganda meetings with Russian propagandists."
Details: The NRC noted that these systematic relocations of Ukrainian children are aimed at assimilating young Ukrainians into a Russian identity.
Quote: "Young people are being forced to belong to Russia and the Russian world and to be intolerant of Ukraine and everything Ukrainian."
Details: The NRC added that there were instances where children have been unable to return home after such "school excursions" during holidays.
Background:
- Russian leader Vladimir Putin recently "opened" a branch of the Nakhimov Naval School in temporarily occupied Mariupol via video call.
- Previously, Putin "opened" a school in Mariupol, where a child was brought in to thank the dictator for "taking care" of the city. In addition, the Russians also "enrolled" a stolen raccoon from Kherson into a university in occupied Melitopol.
