In the temporarily occupied Volnovakha, Russians urged people to participate in the "elections" and support candidates from the United Russia party

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

They also urged locals to send their children to schools with Russian curricula. Those opposing the Russian curriculum are visited by representatives of "district education departments" accompanied by the Russian Federal Security Service to conduct preventive conversations about compliance with Russian legislation on compulsory secondary education.

Parents are subject to reports of improper parental responsibility. If three such reports are drawn up, they will be deprived of parental rights, and their children will be placed under the care of social services in orphanages in the Russian Federation.
