  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
