This is stated in the analysis dated September 6.As the intelligence noted, the Russian authorities continue the forced "political education" of Ukrainian youth in the occupied territories of Ukraine."The Russian Ministry of Defence youth organisation Yunarmiya and the Kremlin youth organisation Movement of the Firsts are amongst those organisations teaching Ukrainian children military skills, and indoctrinating them with pro-Russian and anti-Ukrainian propaganda," the analysis says. British intelligence noted that the Russian "education authorities" aim to counter so‑called extremism.In particular, as the analysis pointed out, a 2022 Russian Ministry of Education manual titled "Preventing conflicts, manifestations of extremism and terrorism in a poly-cultural educational environment" claimed the expression "Slava Ukraine" (Glory to Ukraine) to be an indicator of extremism.The British intelligence also stated that since 2022 the Russian authorities have been running the so‑called "University Sessions" program, under which children from occupied regions of Ukraine are taken to Russian universities where they are given "patriotic education.""This aims to inculcate the children with an anti-Ukrainian outlook, as well as glorifying Russian military exploits. Since 2022, around 50,000 Ukrainian children have attended these sessions at 116 Russian universities," the British intelligence added.Recently, British intelligence said that Russia conscripts young Ukrainians into the Russian army as soon as they turn 18, and a significant portion of them were abducted from occupied Ukrainian territories while still children.
