Russia forces toddlers in occupied Kherson region to support military

The Yellow Ribbon, a resistance movement in the occupied territories of Ukraine, reported the information.

In kindergartens in Russian-occupied Tavriysk, 3-year-olds are allegedly being pressured to create postcards with messages supporting the Russian military. This practice is described in Russia as "identity formation from an early age." 

Activists from the movement have claimed that Russia is attempting to recruit the wives of "special military operation fighters" as teachers to enforce these measures.

"Probably, it's so that 'everything is equal in the family' – a man kills civilians, and a woman raises a new generation with brainwashed children. This isn't even like the Hitler Youth. At least there, children under 10 were not involved," said the activist from the occupied part of the Kherson region.

• In the temporarily occupied territories, Russia threatens final-year students with fines for failing to appear at the so-called military registration and enlistment offices.
