Schoolchildren in occupied Melitopol were told that Ukraine does not exist

In occupied Melitopol, Ukrainian children were forced to go to Russian schools, threatening their parents to take those children away from them. At the same time, it is difficult to call something organized by the occupiers a school. So, the day of knowledge in local schools began with the stories of teachers that there is no such state as Ukraine, but only Russia. This was said by the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, who is located on the territory controlled by Ukraine, but has information, writes Unian .

According to him, after the first lesson, the occupiers offered the children at recess to take a group photo with a portrait of Putin. Many students refused and did not come to class the next day.

In addition, the anthem of the Russian Federation is constantly played in the educational institutions of the occupied Melitopol.

Studying in such schools is in the background. The main thing is to brainwash - to raise the flags of Russia, to play the anthem of a hostile country, - stressed the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov.

He also stressed that in this way Russia does not teach children, but tries to raise an obedient herd from them.
