The SSU systemically exposes supporters of ruscism who help the aggressor introduce russian curricula in the occupied areas of southern and eastern Ukraine.

Since the beginning of 2023, the SSU notified over 30 educators of suspicion of voluntary collaboration with the enemy.

Among them are the heads of ‘education departments’ created by the aggressor state, as well as directors of seized Ukrainian schools and lyceums.

In the course of stabilization efforts in the liberated Kherson, the SSU exposed heads of two secondary schools, who destroyed Ukrainian textbooks and were imposing on pupils the kremlin’s vision of our history.

They also forced staff to teach classes in russian according to the enemy curriculum.

If teachers refused, collaborators threatened to ‘report’ them to the occupation authorities and intimidated them with persecution by ruscists.

In the temporarily occupied Severodonetsk, the SSU identified another collaborator - head of the local ‘education department’ of the terrorist organization ‘LNR’.

Since September last year, she has been actively ‘restoring’ the work of educational institutions according to russian standards.

To do this, the collaborator urged local teachers to support russian invaders and get jobs as teachers at schools under their control, promising support from the occupiers and ‘salaries’ in russian rubles.

The SSU also exposed the head of the ‘Novopskov district education department of the LNR’, who periodically organizes trips for teachers to ‘reformatting courses’ in Voronezh, russia.

Currently, these and other suspects have been notified of suspicion under the two Articles of the CCU:

• 111-1 (collaboration);
• 111-2 (aiding the aggressor state).

The SSU is acting to bring the traitors to justice.

The SSU Offices in Kherson, Donetsk and Luhansk regions are conducting the investigations under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor’s Office.
