“In order to hide their criminal actions, the representatives of the Russian army blocked the approaches and entrances from the side of the street. Veresneva, and two soldiers were stationed at the entrance of the facility for security,” said a local resident.

The Center for Journalistic Investigations also reported that in February 2023, Russian soldiers robbed the Primorsky School No. 2 and the Romashka kindergarten. According to residents, not only computer equipment was taken, but even children’s chairs and cots.

The Russians fail to establish the educational process – the locals do not want to send their children to their schools. In Primorsk, the occupiers put pressure on parents who do not send their children to a Russian school.

Those who live under occupation know that fines are just a warning, and it could be worse.
