The new Russian authorities implanted in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol during the invasion have decided to extend the current school year for the next few months to subject Ukrainian schoolchildren to a new “Russian curriculum”.< /p>
Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the mayor of this coastal city in southern Ukraine that has recently been militarily occupied by Russia, made this complaint this Thursday on his Telegram account, in which he assures that the “Russian enemies” try to “de-sucranize” the children of the country.
“The occupiers have announced the extension of the school year until September 1 . There’s no vacations. Their main goal is to de-Ukrainize schoolchildren and prepare them for the Russian curriculum that they will have to take on next school year,” the municipal advisor wrote.
Throughout of the summer, they will have to study Russian language, literature and history, and mathematics in the Russian language, he explained.

“The squatters plan to open nine schools. However, so far they have only managed to find 53 teachers. Involving six teachers per school – this is a good illustration of Russian education in Mariupol under Russian occupation,” complained Andriushchenko.
The Russian military implements its administrations and organizational systems in those Ukrainian regions that it has been occupying since the invasion of Ukraine began, on February 24, according to the kyiv authorities.
Mariúpol , on the coast of the Sea of Azov, was the last major city to be conquered militarily by the Russians after a long siege that left the city practically destroyed and its depleted population plunged into a serious humanitarian crisis.
Despite having lost control over the city, some former Mariupolis politicians and officials, such as Andriushchenko, continue to write messages on their networks to report on the situation in the city.
