The invaders continue to militarize young people in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine by opening “military history” classes. One of these classes was opened in Luhansk boarding school with the participation of the deputy head of the Russian Military History Society Nikolai Ovsiyenko. This is the second such class, the first was launched on September 1 in Blagoveshchensk.
In these classes, young people will study military history, tactical medicine, drone control and information warfare. The goal is to train new personnel to support Russian propaganda and serve in the occupier’s army. Similar classes are planned to be opened in other cities of Luhansk region, including Krasnodon, Stanytsia Luhanska and Krasnyi Luch.
These actions are a gross violation of children’s rights and international law, as the occupation authorities use education to propagandize and train future soldiers, forcing young people to participate in armed conflicts imposed by Russia.
The National Resistance Center calls for sharing the information about such crimes and donating to the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
