"Deputies" of the so-called "regional duma" of Kherson region presented a bill "On spiritual, moral and patriotic education in Kherson region".

This was reported by ZMINA with reference to the website of the occupation administration of the Kherson region.

According to them, the initiators of this bill were "deputies of the Kherson Regional Duma" from United Russia. According to the Kremlin's proxies in the occupied territories of Kherson region, "in the era of global confrontation with the West, the struggle is for the minds and hearts of people." Therefore, through patriotic education and strengthening traditional spiritual and moral values, they plan to unite Russian society and strengthen national identity. That is, to destroy the Ukrainian identity.

The "document" is to be finalized taking into account the specifics of the region and the conditions of the "special military operation." And it is planned to be put into effect this fall.

According to Kateryna Rashevska, a lawyer at the Regional Center for Human Rights, quoted by ZMINA, 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."

Earlier , 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.
