Thus, on September 2, 240 children aged 10 to 13 moved into the barracks of the military institution. By 2025, there should be 560 such children
The Russian occupiers are actively engaged in the militarization of children. Under the guise of patriotic education, children are involved in military programs, propaganda activities, and camps where they are taught the basics of military affairs, the use of weapons, and are ideologically indoctrinated. This is happening on all temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine
The Resistance emphasizes that the militarization of children is not only an attempt to raise future military loyal to the occupiers, but also a serious crime against childhood.
It is noted that the Russian authorities are trying to break the identity of Ukrainian children by educating them in the spirit of violence, hatred and submission to military ideology.

British intelligence has found that the Russian government has approved a new youth strategy aimed at preparing teenagers for military service. A new military training course for 15-18 year olds is being introduced, and the number of military children's camps is increasing.
