The occupation administrations have taken control of the program of matinees in schools and kindergartens, demanding prior "approval" of their scenarios.
According to the new rules, any mention of St. Nicholas or Santa Claus is effectively banned. Instead, "russian culture" is being imposed on children, and holiday scenarios must be based on russian myths and traditions.
These actions are seen as an attempt to destroy Ukrainian cultural identity and replace the traditions of national holidays with foreign narratives.
The terrorists' goal is to influence the youngest in order to strengthen their propaganda and undermine Ukrainian national identity.
