Russia suppresses Ukrainian language in occupied territories
Ukraine’s Center for National Resistance reports that Russian invaders have announced that from the next academic year, they will stop teaching the Ukrainian language in schools on temporarily occupied territories; now, Ukrainian is taught for only 3 hours a week there.
According to the report, Russians forced the parents to write a statement from May 1, claiming that they do not want their child to learn Ukrainian and that these 3 hours should be added to the study of Russian. “In theory, parents can choose not to do this, but preventive talks are already being held with them, where the occupiers threaten them with consequences if they do not refuse their children to learn Ukrainian,” the report of Ukraine’s Center for National Resistance reads.
