Occupants in Melitopol terrorize teachers – mayor

In the temporarily occupied Melitopol, Zaporozhye region, Russian invaders come with searches to teachers and take away their gadgets. Thus, the invaders check whether they work online with children and whether they conduct lessons according to the Ukrainian education program. This was announced on Sunday, February 5, in the Telegram channel by the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov.

He noted that the Russians are trying to force Ukrainian teachers to teach children according to the Russian program, but most teachers refuse.

“Out of 22 schools today, Russians want 10 to function somehow. Firstly, there are no students who would agree to go to these schools, and secondly, there are not enough teachers,” he said.

According to the mayor, there are currently 2,900 teachers in the city, less than 300 have agreed to cooperate with the enemy. He stressed that mainly technical workers of educational institutions agreed to cooperate with the enemy.

“The teachers almost did not agree. Not a single school director, director of a kindergarten agreed to cooperate with the enemy. Therefore, today there is no educational space, but there is Russian propaganda. They force our children to sing the Russian anthem, in kindergartens to draw letters to some Russian soldier” Fedorov said.

As the mayor of Melitopol stressed, the occupiers threaten teachers, including with deportation, if they do not immediately start working on Russian programs.

It should be noted that “Kadyrovtsy” in the temporarily occupied Melitopol, Zaporozhye region, raped a Russian propagandist from the NTV channel, and also beat a cameraman.

It was also reported that 800 police officers arrived from the Rostov region and the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation to the temporarily occupied Ukrainian Melitopol.
