From September 1, 2024, a new subject – a course on UAV(uncrewed aerial vehicle) control – will be introduced in all schools in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Currently, drone control skills will be taught in specialized circles. However, every student should learn this.
The Kremlin promises that each educational institution will be equipped with training drones and personnel to organize training. Given the critical shortage of teachers in the temporarily occupied territories, Russian military personnel will most likely be involved in such classes.
As we can see, the range of brazen crimes in Russia is only increasing. Now, in addition to involving children in the production of weapons, the invaders will also prepare minors for possible combat missions.
Such actions of the Russian occupation authorities contradict international norms and standards in the field of education. Involvement of minors in such activities violates their right to non-intervention in war and to protection from military use.
The Center of National Resistance reminds that every collaborator who helps the enemy in such practice will be discovered and will be punished. You can leave information about them on the anonymous chatbot.
