Students of the Baltic State Technical University “Voenmech” are sent to military enterprises as an educational practice. Here they are forced to sign an employment contract and documents for access to state secrets. Students are required to fill out a questionnaire about their characteristics, type of activity, marital status, trips abroad, and also provide information about their immediate parents.
What do young people do at military enterprises, they are not attached. However, the children themselves already know well from their predecessors that this will be a collection of drones and other military equipment, which should strengthen the army of the invader in Ukraine.
You cannot refuse “practice”: according to one of the students, the class teacher and the dean claim that if the student refuses, he will be deducted for “practice debt”.
Such practical exercises are not news for the Russian Federation. Here, according to the Kremlin’s plan, each region of the Russian Federation released about 301 million rubles for the purchase of equipment for lessons on the development, production and operation of FPV in schools.
Moreover, today the Russian invaders are actively campaigning in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine for children to enter higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Defence and the National Guard of the Russian Federation.
The use of child labor is an usual phenomenon in Russia. But according to international humanitarian law, this practice is unacceptable. Anyone can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
