Russian-backed authorities are beginning "to forcibly nationalize local enterprises and property and transfer them to the so-called local administrations," Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister, Hanna Maliar, said on Telegram on Thursday.

"In the educational sphere, the occupiers are ordering local educational institutions to implement the requirements of Russian propaganda aimed at justifying military aggression and imposing the Russian interpretation of history," she said.
Maliar also alleged that educational institutions in Zaporizhzhia region had received an order that required teachers to promote the "Russian world" and explain the need for a referendum to the local population.

CNN is unable to independently verify these claims.
