Russian financial aid to students in controlled areas in Ukraine.
The Russian government plans to provide financial aid to students in the occupied territories during the war with Ukraine.
The Russian government has ordered financial aid to be paid to parents of students in controlled areas in Ukraine.
“Moscow Times” newspaper wrote on Wednesday that the Kremlin will give parents of children between 6 and 18 years old in the Russian-controlled regions of “Donetsk”, “Luhansk”, “Zaporizhia”, “Kharkiyev” and “Kherson” if their children by September 15 (Thursday, 24 September) will pay 10,000 rubles ($167) to start studying at public educational institutions in the designated areas.
Meanwhile, there have been reports that the Kremlin is trying to provide the Russian curriculum to schools in the controlled territories. Russia’s desire is to apply the Russian curriculum in the areas under the control of Ukraine. The academic year in Russia is scheduled to begin on September 1.
On February 24, 2022 (5th of March 1400), after recognizing the independence of the two republics of Luhansk and Donetsk from Ukraine, Russia sent troops to this country and announced the start of military operations.
Russia has announced its goal of this action to de-Nazify Ukraine, disarm this country, resolve its security concerns and respond to Luhansk and Donetsk’s request for help, and has said that it has no intention of seizing Ukrainian lands.
Following the beginning of Russia’s conflict with Ukraine, while condemning Moscow and intensifying economic pressures, Western countries have put all-round political, financial, and weapons support for Kiev on the agenda. Despite the support of the West, in the field, Russia has managed to control Luhansk in the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine and is trying to dominate all regions of Donetsk.
The Russian president recently recognized the independence of the two republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, and three days after that, he ordered a special military operation to support the residents of the Donbas region. In July, Putin issued a decree to quickly grant Russian citizenship to all citizens of the Ukrainian regions controlled by Russia.
