Russian sources are spreading the news that the Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Oksen Lisovyi allegedly proposed introducing restrictions on travel abroad for high school students. According to the propagandists, such an idea indicates that Ukraine is preparing to mobilize young men and even teenagers.

However, the StopFake project reports that Russian propagandists manipulated Oksen Lisovyi’s words. The Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine spoke on this topic during the hour of questions to the government in the Verkhovna Rada. Answering the question, Lisovyi said that a large number of high school students choose to continue their education abroad. This worries the government, and the state seeks to encourage Ukrainian youth to stay in the country in various ways.

However, the minister did not say anything about introducing new restrictions on travel abroad. At the same time, he noted that teenagers should be motivated to build their lives in Ukraine, first of all, by high-quality professional, higher and higher education that meets the needs of young people.

Russian propaganda regularly spreads disinformation about the mobilization of Ukrainian youth, teenagers and even children. For example, earlier we recorded a fake about the alleged mass mobilization of students in Ukrainian universities.
