Schools in the temporarily occupied Mariupol have received a plan to write “letters to soldiers”. In addition to a certain number, such messages should contain words of gratitude to the terrorists for “liberation” from a safe and peaceful life.
This forced action is dictated, and it is impossible to refuse to participate without risking sanctions. Students are forced to write letters, which are then handed over to the Russian military, presenting them as a “voluntary initiative.” The whole activity is actively covered by Russian propagandists who try to create the impression of support from the local population. This process is aimed at strengthening control over the population and shaping the desired image for the outside world.
A similar action took place in schools in the Kherson region. Here, students wrote letters during the first lessons under the supervision of teachers.
You can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
