119 secondary school students from Mariupol sent by occupiers to St. Petersburg for "re-education" - NRC
Russian occupation forces have organized another departure of Ukrainian secondary school students from the temporarily occupied Mariupol to Russia.
This was reported by the National Resistance Center, Censor.NET reports.
This time, 119 senior high school students were taken to St. Petersburg, where they will undergo so-called "re-education" as part of propaganda programs.
According to local sources, the main purpose of these trips is to impose the ideology of the "Russian world" on children, create a sense of belonging to the Russian identity and foster hostility towards Ukraine.
Such systematic activities are part of the Kremlin 's broader policy of assimilation of young people in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Through violent propaganda campaigns, the Russian occupiers are trying to erase the national identity of Ukrainians and integrate the younger generation into Russian society.
