Ukraine's National Resistance Center has reported that the Russians continue to systematically militarise teenagers in temporarily occupied territories. Specifically, about a hundred Ukrainian teenagers have joined the so-called Yunarmiya (the All-Russia Young Army National Military Patriotic Social Movement Association) in Donetsk Oblast.

Quote: "The TOT [temporarily occupied territories] is building a network of 'Yunarmiyas' – the Russian equivalent of the Nazi 'Hitler Youth' movement, a militaristic movement of teenagers that is to become the basis of the Russian armed forces in the future. In June, up to a hundred Ukrainian teenagers took the oath of allegiance to the enemy movement at Savur-Mohyla.

In the future, they will become the basis for training in military schools under the Russian Ministry of Defence."

Details: The NRC noted that the Russians lure teenagers by promising their parents social advancement for their children.

Quote: "However, the enemy does not say that it is Ukrainians and other enslaved ethnic groups of the empire that became the basis for assault units in the Kremlin’s wars."
