Authorities in Moscow have unveiled a new schoolbook which aims to justify the war on Ukraine and accuses the West of trying to destroy Russia.

According to excerpts published by Russian media, schoolchildren will now be taught that human civilisation could have come to an end had Vladimir Putin not started his "special military operation" against Ukraine.

The textbook, called "Russian History, 1945- early 21st century", is the first approved history book to mention events as recent as the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
