In the occupied territories of Ukraine, Russian forces have conducted a seminar for teachers, instructing them to identify children who might potentially support their home country, according to the National Resistance Center of Ukraine (NRC).

"In a cynical style, Russian troops called it 'deviant behavior,'" the NRC said.

The information resource reported that teachers were trained on where to report if they identified disloyal children, and how to use these children to assess the views of their parents.

The NRC summarized that the enemy plans to gather information about the pro-Ukrainian movement through these children.

"(The enemy -ed.) does not realize that they are the majority on the TOT," the NRC noted.

Additionally, at the end of the publication, the National Resistance Center urged parents to have discussions with their children at home and to report teachers who are working for the enemy.
