In the temporarily occupied Melitopol, the occupying authorities are trying to reopen schools. According to the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, they want to open 4 schools, for which they will bring teachers from distant regions of Russia. As for pupils, due to the frantic "deficit" of schoolchildren, the occupiers are frightening parents that they will deprive them of parental rights. Letters are sent to parents stating that, allegedly, for not sending their children to Russian schools, they will first warn them, then fine them forty thousand rubles, and then deprive them of parental rights. Such threats are received not only by Melitopol residents, but also by the remaining families in Mariupol. The fact-checkers of the "Perevireno.Zaporizhyzhia" project received the lawyer's comments on this matter. He said that only Ukrainian legislation is in force in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Any legal norms of other states in these territories cannot be applied to citizens of Ukraine. According to the lawyer, in this way the invaders press and intimidate the citizens of Ukraine without any legal basis. The occupiers systematically manipulate the emotionally sensitive topic of child safety. Previously, fake reports were circulated that Zelenskyi ordered to start the full-time face-to-face studies from September 1. They also talked about the fact that supposedly Ukrainian children are taught to hate Russia from childhood.
