Collaborators accompanied by armed soldiers came to the families and threatened to deprive them of parental rights if the students did not attend schools in which the occupiers implemented the Russian curriculum.

They also checked the availability of applications on gadgets that are used for learning in Ukrainian schools.

These restrictions apply both to access to official websites of Ukrainian state bodies and to websites of Ukrainian media.
