It is known that more than 30,000 children in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea were dragged into the Russian Youtharmy movement. This was stated by the head of the national advocacy in the field of education of the Center for Civic Education Almenda Valentyna Potapova.
According to Potapova, this is a mechanism for the destruction of identity, and the goal of this system is to turn Ukrainian children into Russians.
“Among the mechanisms there are also such lessons as talking about important things aimed at distorting history, as well as military-patriotic camps, cadet classes, more than 874 detachments of the Youtharmy, whose members are more than 30,000 children. There are more Youtharmy detachments on the peninsula than schools”,- she added.
