Amnesty: “Persecution in schools that do not adopt Russian curricula”
In the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, parents, teachers and students who refuse to follow the school programs introduced by Russia in September 2022 risk violence, arrest and ill-treatment, Amnesty International denounces, calling it “a dangerous attempt to to indoctrinate future generations.” “. and “a violation of the right to adequate and quality education” the introduction of a new history textbook that will be compulsory for high schools in the country and in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine from today, the first day of school.
The occupying authorities, Amnesty continued, have the names and addresses of students living in the areas under their control and can appear at their homes and demand their presence in class. They often threaten action when parents refuse to send their children to schools that follow the Russian curriculum.
Russian security forces regularly carry out checks on personal electronic devices: if they find content or software for school attendance online that follows the Ukrainian curriculum, the consequences can be serious, including arrests and ill-treatment. The text justifies Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine as a legitimate act of self-defense and is full of propagandistic clichés about Russian arbitrariness, starting with the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, the international organization said in a statement.
“This textbook erases the truth and falsely portrays serious human rights violations and crimes under international law committed by Russian forces against the Ukrainian people,” said Anna Wright, Amnesty International’s Eastern Europe and Central Asia researcher. “The indoctrination of girls and boys at a vulnerable stage of their development is a cynical attempt to erase Ukrainian culture, heritage and identity, and is also a violation of the right to education,” Wright added. The text describes Russia as a victim of a Western conspiracy rather than an aggressor state and claims that before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, NATO advisers prepared Ukraine for an “attack on Donbass,” the areas in eastern Ukraine that have since been under Russian control occupation in 2014. He adds that if Ukraine were to join NATO, the result could be a destructive war and “perhaps the end of civilization,” which Russia would have no choice but to prevent.

Moscow uses fake websites to obtain information about Kiev soldiers
Russia is using fictitious websites to obtain personal information about thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and their families, the Voice of America reports, citing US Defense Department officials. According to sources, the initiative aims to detain and deport family members of soldiers living in the occupied territories of Ukraine to Russia. Two Pentagon officials said Moscow has set up at least two “phishing” sites – WarTears.org and ForeignCombatants.ru – that serve as support platforms for friends and family members of missing, captured or dead Ukrainian soldiers. Spokesperson for the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Pyotr Yatsenko, confirmed to Voice of America that these sites were fake and noted that there were dozens of similar “phishing” sites aimed at obtaining data on Ukrainian family members to collect soldiers. “They play on the feelings of extremely vulnerable relatives and friends of missing or captured military personnel and take advantage of the fact that Russia does not provide Ukraine with information about the people it holds captive,” Yatsenko said. Relatives hope that their loved ones are not dead but in captivity, so they share their personal information.” One website, WarTears.org, says its database contains information on more than 170,000 Ukrainian soldiers. According to Pentagon officials, Russia uses the names, phone numbers and addresses of Ukrainians obtained through these websites to determine whether any of these soldiers or their families live in the occupied Ukrainian territories. Those living in these areas could therefore be identified, monitored, detained and deported to Russia, officials admit.

Zelensky: “There is no lasting peace without Crimea and Donbass”
“Without Crimea, without Donbass and without the occupied territories, there will be no sustainable peace in Ukraine and therefore also in Europe.” This was said by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, in his speech via video link at the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio . “Think about what happened to Crimea. Is there civilization there, is there tourism, more jobs? No, none of that, because Ukraine, as a civilized nation that respects international law, does not recognize the part of the Russian Federation and not even companies recognize it,” Zelensky noted. “The situation,” he continued, “will be unsustainable, there will be permanent chaos and that is exactly what the Russian Federation is aiming for.” Crimea – recalled the President of Ukraine – “was an attractive peninsula for tourists and has now become an occupied and militarized area.”
