In Mariup, Russian sdiers come to schos to teach children enmity toward Ukraine – city council in exile

That’s according to the Mariup City Council in exile, whose press service posted the relevant video shot in a local educational facility.

"Invaders come to schos, bringing along their weapons. This is how the so-called ‘courage classes’ take place. In particular, they tell children about drones that kill Ukrainians. In addition, they make some kids wear Russian military uniform and put on St. George's ribbons (paraphernalia now affiliated with the Russian invasion)," the report says.

According to the mayor of Ukrainian Mariup, Vadym Boichenko, there are currently about 10,000 children remaining in captured Mariup, whom the Russians subject to "psychogical vience” as they are taught “to hate.”

"Only when Ukraine regains the city will these children be safe again," Boichenko emphasized.

As reported earlier, Russia's aggression caused a huge humanitarian disaster in Mariup. Almost 90% of the city was destroyed by enemy shelling. Residential buildings, hospitals, schos, and kindergartens were either damaged or destroyed.

Currently, more than 100,000 residents remain in the city. Instead of the 16 schos whose ening was proudly announced by the invaders, five were ened at the start of the academic year in September. The city currently remains an extremely dangerous place as streets are massively infested with landmines.
