- Ukrainian children are taught to hate Ukraine in the occupied part of Kherson region


The Russian invaders continue their policy of destroying the identity of children in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
The occupation "administration" of Zhelezniy Port in Kherson Oblast gave one of the city's schools for the ideological treatment of local children. The Russian occupiers have set up a branch of the Russian Children and Youth Movement, the "Movement of the First", on its basis, where they teach Ukrainians to hate everything Ukrainian. This is reported by the Centre for National Resistance.
The occupants forcibly turned the premises of one of the city's schools into the slogan of this organization - "to be with Russia, to be human, to be together, to be the first," the CNS said.
It is noted that the main task of the said branch is total displacement of the Ukrainian identity and subsequent integration of Ukrainian children and youth into the so-called socio-cultural space on the territory of Russia.
It should be noted that the "movement of the first ones" has signs of a totalitarian cult and the rejection of participation in it will be reflected in the attitude towards the child in schools, the CNS said.
Also in the temporarily occupied territories, teenagers continue to be recruited into the militarist group Yunarmia, which is already the equivalent of the Hitler Youth from Nazi Germany.
