Russian forces make children in occupied Ukraine donate money for military gifts

The Center for National Resistance reports.

In particular, primary school children in a number of seized schools in the Kherson region were forced to make "garlands" for the Russian military and write poetry.

At the same time, parents had to donate money to buy gifts for the Russian military.

The Center for National Resistance added that propagandists present this as the desire of the children themselves. In this way, Russia uses children for its own purposes and tries to change their self-identity by heroizing the invaders.

• The Russian forces obliged schools in the temporarily occupied territories to submit lists of "parental committees" to the occupation administrations.
