The children were accused of "working for the SBU". The propagandists spread a "legend" that the boys had organized several terrorist attacks. They were passing on information about the movement of enemy equipment and troop bases. They were also allegedly spying on one of the collaborators to plant explosives in his entrance
He added that, according to the occupiers, two more members of "this group" were killed in an explosion of improvised explosives.
Addendum
The mayor of Melitopol explained that Russians are unable to overcome resistance in the temporarily occupied territories, so they decided to go the other way.
They are already capturing children who, under torture, are more likely to confess to anything the enemy says. We have to free our people
