Russian troops confiscated Ukrainian books from libraries and schools in occupied eastern Luhansk region and burned them at thermal power plants, the National Resistance Center, an organization led by Ukraine’s special forces, reports News.ro.

Ukrainian books, especially literature, are being burned en masse in Russian-occupied Rovenki, the report says. The Guardian was unable to verify the information.

The Russian prosecutor’s office of the occupied Luhansk region was ordered to remove 365 editions of Ukrainian books from schools and libraries in the region, Kyiv Independent reports.

Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has deliberately tried to impose propaganda on Ukrainian children through education in the occupied territories.

Thousands of children from the occupied territories of Ukraine would be forcibly deported to Russia.

On January 18, adviser to the President of Ukraine on child rights and rehabilitation, Darya Gerasimchuk, reported that Russia kidnapped almost 14,000 Ukrainian children. Only 125 of them returned to Ukraine.

In addition, the Russians began to make changes and impose the Russian program in all the occupied cities.
