Initially, the occupiers plan to involve about 4000 boys aged from 14 to 17. The teens will be trained in these particular military occupational specialties, in which the Russians lack personnel.

"Educational facilities will be assigned specialties so as to organise the preparation appropriately," Luhansk Oblast Military Administration reports.

The occupiers also control the children’s online activity and order the teachers to drag them into propagandist movements.

"The Russians are strengthening their control over the youth. School teachers were told to control informational activity of the children and involve them in propagandistic movements.

Teachers must denounce students if, in their opinion, they post something "illegal" on the Internet," the military administration adds.

Background: Earlier, the National Resistance Center of Ukraine reported that the Russians are "re-educating" the teenagers from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine in military camps.

The occupiers in Crimea plan to involve every tenth schoolchild in the Young Army Cadets National Movement. The Russians also decided to strengthen cooperation between schools and military enlistment offices in Crimea.
