Petro Andriushchenko, advisor to the Ukrainian mayor of this coastal city in southern Ukraine, warned Thursday on the Telegram social network, guaranteeing that “Russian enemies” are trying to “de-Ukrainize” the country’s children.
The squatters announced the extension of the school year until September 1. There’s no vacations. Its main objective is to ‘de-sucranize’ school children and prepare them for the Russian curriculum that they will have to take the next school year”, the councilor pointed out.
Throughout the summer, the children will have to study the Russian language, literature, history and mathematics, he explained.
“The occupiers plan to open nine schools. However, so far, they have only managed to find 53 teachers. Which means six teachers per school – this is a good illustration of Russian education in Mariupol under Russian occupation,” Andriushchenko said.
