Recall
As noted by the CNS, Russians are increasing pressure on men in the temporarily occupied territories who refused to participate in the so-called "elections". They are summoned for interrogations, subjected to psychological pressure, and forced to sign contracts with the Russian armed forces.
In addition, the occupiers launched a new series of propaganda lessons "courage lessons" in schools in the occupied territories. At these lessons, children are involved in the idea of justifying armed aggression and legitimizing the Russian presence on Ukrainian lands.
