russia continues to militarize Ukrainian children in the temporarily occupied Crimea, creating a military sports camp to train schoolchildren in military professions. At the same time, the militarization of education and the imposition of its ideology in the occupied territories is a war crime under international humanitarian law.

In the temporarily occupied Crimea, russia continues to try to involve more and more Ukrainian children in its military training system. This was reported by the Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, UNN reports.

Details

Lubinets notes that a military sports town may appear in Simferopol by the end of March. It will cover an area of 0.5 hectares. At the same time, the occupation authorities openly call it a training ground.

They plan to teach schoolchildren military professions, UAV piloting, and diving and maritime training. By the end of April, they plan to set up obstacle courses and various simulators, including a shooting range, a climbing wall, weapons training, chemical defense, and more.

russia has been pursuing a policy of militarizing Ukrainian children on the Crimean peninsula since the beginning of its occupation. After the full-scale invasion, the process of re-education of young people has only intensified. The paramilitary format of education has a detrimental effect on the minds of children. They are being "brought up" as soldiers, promoting a poisonous narrative that their native Ukraine is an enemy that must be fought with arms

- Lubinets writes.

He emphasized that russia's militarization of education and imposition of its ideology on children in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine is a war crime under international humanitarian law.
