Details: It is reported that in Kharkiv the Russian occupying forces contacted an underage boy through a Telegram messenger. The Russians promised to pay for information about the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city.

Meanwhile, in the Luhansk region, two Russian soldiers approached a 16-year-old boy directly, offering him money in exchange for information about the location and routes of Ukrainian troops. The boy was frightened, but the occupiers "calmed him down": they said he was underage, and that he would be fine.

Due to the intervention of security forces, the boys did not have time to pass information to the Russian army.
