More than two and a half thousand children aged 13 to 17 from the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions will undergo military training in the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation. Last summer, Russia began to actively open so-called ‘warrior’ military sports centers, which train teenagers to participate in combat operations upon reaching the age of majority.
The local collaborators select the students for such training on their own. First of all, they pay attention to the physical development of the child and then actively engage in psychological processing of the future soldier.
It is known that the invaders have opened branches of such military camps in the TOT of Ukraine. For example, the opening of such a center in the occupied Luhansk region was personally overseen by the director of the Warrior organization, Oleksandr Zaitsev.
The list of crimes committed by terrorist Russia is only growing. Now, in addition to involving children in the production of weapons, the enemy will also train minors for possible combat missions.
Such actions of the Russian occupation authorities contradict international norms and standards in the field of education. The involvement of minors in such activities violates their right to non-interference in the war and to protection from military use. And these crimes will certainly be punished.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.
