I can give you the source I'm shared it from and you can ask them if they're sure.

There's a difference.

Russia tried to erase Lithuanian language too. It was forbidden by law fom 1864 to 1904.

Russian-language literature published in other countries, however, may still be imported as long as it has been approved. According to the law, a new literary council of experts will first scour works looking for anti-Ukrainian propaganda.

Removing pro russian propaganda by an invading force or an invading force removing books just to erase their identity.

"Soldiers from Samara who survived the Makeevka massacre were forced to apologize on camera for a video message to the president" (not sure what they were apologizing for but I will keep looking for information)

Please don't confuse the kremlin shills. for them, they have to either focus on thinking or breathing, but they can not do both.

Ukraine has its worms, plenty of them, but Faust has never stopped to think for extended period of time (cause he would suffocate due to being unable to both think and breathe at the same time) why not a single country (apart from Belarus) from ex-soviet block wants Russias loving embrace.

They don't teach about forced russification of smaller nations in their Russian schools, they call it - educating and upbringing lower peoples.

So, be mindful, don't make such confusing questions to these poor sobs.

Does this mean child soldiers?

Nope...15-17 - is close to an adult who would need to serve in the army regardless of war or not.
In Russia, draft age is 18.
Some join military "camps" or "scout" groups that start their military training years before they need to serve.

If the war in ukraine is to last as long as some predict( many years ), then those "kids" will be 18 and be serving in the army anyways.

Yeah,
I have said it many times in these forums already.
Russia has the problems with its neighbours
( including Ukraine ) because they rewrote their history and they dont know what really went down in history. Thats why they remove textbooks and literature from occupied territories. They can't stand the truth. Its not what they were brought up under their dictatorship.
The reality is that the Soviet Union never existed. The Soviet Union was just a fancy "cover name" for the Russian occupation and thats why id dissolved as soon as it became possible. It it just a coincidence that people in the occupied territories dreampt of escaping to the west....and actually did so?
Ask yourself, why are there so many Russians outside of Russian borders in the first place?
United States won the second world war just as Russia did. Now, why isn't 30% of french/german/polish population a minority group from United States...with US passports?
The soviet union was just Russia's way of keeping the conquered territories. The fifth column was a way to seal the deal and make occupation permanent.
If Russia understood their history, then they would understand why in many Eastern European countries people honor soldiers/generals who fought in german army. They would understand why many Ukrainians like that Bandera guy.
The answer isn't:
"Soldiers who fought in the german army are honored because they fought for germany".

The answer is: "They are honored because they fought against Russia, and for their own independence."

Posting the same photo from my OP as it was included with this post from the source.

"A little about the hypocrisy of Russians

On the first screen, you see the hysteria of the Rashni because the Saeima of Latvia adopted the law on education in the state language. Let me remind you, just in case, that in Latvia it is the Latvian language

Rashnya yelled a lot about "infringement", non-existent "Russophobia" (the Russians did not understand that no one was afraid of them), pro-Russian MEPs, or rather one idiot named Tatyana Zhdanok, grunted excitedly about "violation of human rights" and "discrimination" on attitude towards Russians who want to get education in Rutsk language in Latvia

On the second screen, undermining the assholes of the Rashni, who went berserk because the Seimas of Latvia, deeply don't care... Rashni's wishes are indifferent

Let me also remind you that all this time, the Russians have been boasting about something that is not in their likeness to the country - multinationality and the absence of a ban on other languages

And now, Russians, attention, a question:

What's in the photo? What are these books, what city are they in, and why are they thrown out of windows?

And in the photo, Priazovsky State University in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, temporarily occupied and destroyed by Russian bastards, and books in Ukrainian thrown out the window, about Ukrainian culture and history

Tell me why or guess?
To be destroyed, just as it happened in Donetsk, Lugansk, Crimea. Also, how everything was broken and burned, where there was Petrykivka painting or state symbols of Ukraine

Like a log in the eye, huh, rush? Everything is fine, does not press anything?
What else do you want to say about education in the state language in Ukraine or Latvia?

And, I can also recall the calls of one of the Russian propagandists to ban communication in Russia in any other language, in particular in their native language, which is not Ryutsk Izyk, as well as calls to persecute those who can speak not Russian, and break up groups (but in Russian , this is everything that is more than one person), in which citizens of other nationalities and speakers of the same language (except Russian) can unite video here"
