Details: According to the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, the Kremlin’s media are spreading disinformation according to which "the Ukrainian regime, following in the footsteps of the Third Reich, is sending children into combat."
Quote: "In order to corroborate this unfounded claim, Putin’s propaganda is making use of "interviews" with Ukrainian children. The propaganda materials cite meaningless quotations, to which pseudojournalists add such false information as ‘since the beginning of the special operation, these children have worked as spies in Ukraine’.
"Russia’s exploitation of children in the information war is a gross violation of the norms of international law."
