Russia’s Militarization of Ukrainian Children: Indoctrination and Hate
Russia is escalating its militarization of children in occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, significantly increasing funding for youth paramilitary groups like Yunarmiya and Voyin. This intensified propaganda campaign aims to cultivate hatred for Ukraine, evidenced by the establishment of “military-patriotic” training centers and increased cadet classes designed to funnel children into Russian security forces. Billions of rubles are allocated this year, exceeding previous funding significantly. The long-term goal is to create a generation of pro-Russian soldiers loyal to the Kremlin.
