The russian occupiers continue to leverage educational institutions of the temporarily occupied territories and use them for their own purposes. They set them up as military facilities, hiding behind human shields – the schoolchildren and the teaching staff. 

For example, mobilized units of the russian occupation forces have arrived in the city of Skadovsk (Kherson oblast) in recent days. The personnel are accommodated in the buildings of educational institutions. At the same time, the occupiers are forcing the teaching staff to continue the educational process with the attendance being compulsory for the children. 

This said, a humanitarian crisis is imminent in temporarily russia-occupied Skadovsk due to the growing shortage of medicines. The the russian so-called “authorities” put in office by the occupation forces have significantly limited the supply of all types of medicines to pharmacies. 

During the day of April 12, the Ukrainian Air Force launched 6 air strikes on the concentrations of occupants’ personnel and military equipment. Also, 1 Orlan-10 UAV of the enemy was shot down.
