Russian forces are recruiting schoolchildren from temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to the Nakhimov Naval School branch, reports the National Resistance Center.
As noted, the branch under the Russian Ministry of Defense is being constructed in occupied Mariupol. It is intended to train Russian armed forces officers selected from local teenagers. Enrollment is currently open for grades 5-7, with classes scheduled to start on September 1.
The NRC emphasized that Russia is once again violating international law by recruiting residents against their homeland. This time, it involves children, whom the Kremlin traditionally plans to turn into Janissaries, as the empire always wages war using the hands of subjugated peoples.
Additionally, the department urged locals to boycott the enemy's initiatives and not ruin their children's lives.
According to the NRC, Russian forces in the temporarily occupied areas of the Kherson region are turning men into Cossacks for inclusion in the mobilization reserve.
Earlier, it was reported that Russia is creating special units under the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the occupied territories of Ukraine. These units will carry out filtration actions against the local population.
