The Free Together Center in Mykolaiv hosted a creative workshop for children who were forced to leave their homes because of the war. The event was organized with the support of the Shchedryk Charitable Foundation.

This was reported by the press service of the Kherson Regional State Administration.

During the master class, the young participants and their parents painted the shoppers, creating unique designs with paints and brushes. The children drew bright patterns, patriotic symbols and embodied their ideas on fabric.

In addition to creativity, the benefactors gave the families the opportunity to spend time together and take their minds off the war. All participants also received tickets to the skating rink.

The organizers expressed their gratitude to their partners for supporting the displaced children and organizing useful leisure activities.

Divers have found the bodies of two children who fell through the ice in Kherson region. The search for the body of the third boy continues.

Earlier, the lawyer of the Regional Center for Human Rights <b>Kateryna Rashevska</b> said that the re-education of Ukrainian teenagers and youth is very well integrated into the policy of the Russian Federation, and it is carried out by bodies of different levels - federal, regional, occupation and even Ukrainian collaborators:

"This is a set of measures aimed at militarizing and politically indoctrinating Ukrainian children through both formal and non-formal education. Both in the occupied territory and in the territory of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus."

Before that, the occupation authorities of the Kherson region forced children to tear up the graves of victims of Nazi mass shootings in 1941-1943 near Henichesk. The invaders called this involvement of schoolchildren in the exhumation of human remains"patriotic education." In addition to children, heavy machinery was also involved in the "search work," which could simply destroy the burial site.
