The Russian invaders continue their policy of changing the self-identity of Ukrainian children by brainwashing them, according to the National Resistance Center of Ukraine (NRCU).

Thus, the collaborators sent 100 students of Donetsk State University on a so-called tourist trip to Moscow. The voyage was organized as part of the so-called civil-patriotic and socially useful youth tourism program 'More than a trip'.

The Russian invaders do not even hide their intentions and say that this is a trip to change the children's beliefs that Ukraine does not exist and that their native land is part of the Russian Federation.

The National Resistance Center of Ukraine notes that the so-called trips have been taking place systematically since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

Situation in occupied territories of Ukraine

The Russian authorities promise all invaders two hectares of Ukrainian land in the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Kherson regions.

In addition, the Russian occupiers are taking away housing from Ukrainians who still live in the temporarily occupied territories.
