Evidence of Systematic Indoctrination and Militarization of Ukrainian Children in Russia
Recent reports have unveiled a troubling network of over 210 facilities in Russia aimed at the forced re-education and militarization of abducted Ukrainian children. Investigations reveal that thousands of Ukrainian children are being subjected to indoctrination, military training, and forced labor, including the production of military equipment like drones. Research from Yale highlights the systematic nature of this operation, which includes allegations of child exploitation and psychological manipulation, as well as the troubling statistic that approximately 20% of these children have received military training. The Ukrainian government raises warnings about the imperial aggression displayed by Russia, with significant fears regarding the future implications of such practices on the children and their communities.
