Ukraine charges occupation administration official with “Russifying” Ukrainian schools

That’s according to the agency’s Cherkasy Office, Ukrinform reports.

"The Security Service exposed another enemy accomplice who sided with Russia in the occupied region in eastern Ukraine. The traitor helped the aggressor introduce a Russian curriculum in Ukrainian educational facilities. After the community was occupied, the suspect voluntarily joined the occupation administration in the town of Holubivka (formerly Kirovsk) in Luhansk region," the report says.

According to the SBU, in October 2022, the invaders have appointed her as chief of the "education department." To implement “innovations,” the culprit supervised certification of local schools in line with the Russian standards. It was she who introduced the Russian language as the exclusive language of instruction in schools, as well as curricula of the aggressor state.

In addition, the perpetrator was engaged in developing Kremlin-style guidebooks for teachers.

Based on the evidence collected, the Security Service pressed charges (in absentia) against the enemy asset under Article 111 Part 2 of the Criminal Code (treason committed under martial law); and Article 111-1 Part 5 (aiding and abetting the enemy).

The culprit faces life in prison if found guilty in court.

As Ukrinform reported, the chief of the "Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for the LPR" was charged (in absentia) with aiding and abetting the enemy.
