Russian intelligence services continue targeting Ukrainian teenagers, attempting to turn them into tools of terror. Ukrainian boxing star Oleksandr Usyk has urged young people not to fall for the enemy's manipulation and to stay vigilant.
What Usyk told young Ukrainians
The boxer drew attention to the information campaign "Burn the FSB agent," which was part of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the National Police's online lesson for schoolchildren across Ukraine.
Children were given clear advice on recognizing recruiters and avoiding falling into a deadly trap.
"The enemy floods youth with offers of 'easy money'—to photograph a military site, set fire to a Ukrainian Armed Forces vehicle. Often, it's 'just' delivering a bag with explosives to a military recruitment center. And then—they blow up the 'courier'! Don’t let the Russians turn you into suicide terrorists! Immediately report any attempts to recruit you for terrorist attacks or sabotage to the SBU or National Police," the post says.
Usyk also reminded teenagers that "being cool means having your head on your shoulders."
"And true strength is the ability to stay loyal to yourself and your native land!" he concluded.
As a reminder, on July 19, 2025, Oleksandr Usyk will fight a rematch against Daniel Dubois.
The bout will be the second meeting between the fighters after their high-profile clash in August 2023 in Wrocław, in which Usyk defeated the Briton via technical knockout in the ninth round.
