MOSCOW:The Ukrainian military is deliberately doing everything in its power to prevent children in Russia from receiving a normal education, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik told TASS.
"There was a surge in early September, with Ukraine launching such strikes starting from September 1. Now we are seeing strikes mainly in the Kherson Region, where a school in Aleshki came under attack. In the Zaporozhye Region, strikes have targeted the energy infrastructure that supplies these educational institutions with electricity and heat. In other words, everything is aimed at preventing children from receiving a full-fledged education, squeezing as much as possible the framework of their lives, education and normal childhood existence," the diplomat said.
He noted that distance learning has been introduced in many frontline areas to protect children from danger. "But this, you know, often does not affect the number of strikes carried out by the Ukrainian side. For example, strikes are very often carried out now as soon as they see that a school is being rebuilt, it comes under attack. The windows have just been glazed, then it comes under attack. This is an absolutely cynical tactic used by Ukraine. In other words, even understanding that they cannot disrupt the process itself, they say: ‘All right, we will at least destroy the school, at least tear apart the kindergarten, and in any case we will create unbearable conditions for you to organize the educational process,’" Miroshnik concluded.
