Russian forces, under the guise of promoting patriotism, continue a large-scale recruitment campaign targeting youth in the occupied territories of Ukraine, reports the National Resistance Center (NRC).

The enemy is creating a network of various patriotic organizations. Recently, a new branch of the so-called "Molodaya gvardiya" was opened in the village of Vesele in the Zaporizhzhia region.

The National Resistance Center (NRC) emphasized that these organizations present themselves as platforms for self-realization, leadership development, and patriotic education.

"Youth are involved in various propaganda activities and, eventually, in military training. They are promised the chance to change the world," the report stated.

However, in reality, young people become mere tools in the hands of Russian forces. These programs are aimed at recruiting cannon fodder for future Kremlin wars.

The NRC urged reporting on the organizers of such projects and instances of recruitment of teenagers into these camps.

"Every crime must not go unpunished," concluded the National Resistance Center.
