One hundred schoolchildren from the temporarily occupied Kherson region were sent by the Russians to Tula to participate in the University Changes project. The program involves “familiarization” with higher education institutions in Russia and campaigning for Ukrainian children to enter these universities. The main goal of this initiative is to assimilate Ukrainian youth and replenish the Russian labor force.
The assimilation of young people is not only a cultural but also an economic tool. Russia is trying to attract Ukrainian young people to its labor market, which will help compensate for staff shortages, particularly in the context of constant mobilizations and economic difficulties.
Russia has begun preparations for the export of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories under the guise of rehabilitation. It is about the vacation period.
The National Resistance Center emphasizes that these actions constitute a crime against Ukraine, as they violate the rights of children and youth to education in their native country and to preserve their cultural identity. Therefore, it is important that the international community recognizes these actions as a gross violation of human rights and takes measures to stop them.
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.
