The occupiers are transporting schoolchildren from the Luhansk region to Tatarstan

Russian occupiers are transporting high school students from the temporarily occupied cities of Lysychansk and Rubizhne to Yelabuga in Tatarstan, where they are being enrolled in programs for the production of attack drones and engineering training. At the same time, in the occupied Luhansk region, there are plans to double the amount of military training for schoolchildren, the Luhansk Regional Military Administration reported on June 30.

 

This was stated by Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk Regional State Administration.

According to Kharchenko, the students are being transported from the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk Oblast without their parents. Family members are allowed to visit the children only once—for their graduation ceremony.

High school students are being transported to Yelabuga—a city home to Russia’s largest factory producing attack drones.

“The invaders are relocating young men and women from Luhansk Oblast to Yelabuga, leaving mostly older people in the so-called ‘LPR.’ In Tatarstan, they are being offered the chance to become engineers. Let me remind you that the city mentioned above is home to Russia’s largest factory producing attack drones,” Kharchenko noted.

Over the past day, on June 29, Russian forces carried out drone strikes on border areas of the Chernihiv region. Four civilians were injured in the attack, and civilian infrastructure was damaged.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, a 56-year-old woman was killed as a result of Russian shelling, and two other people, including a 13-year-old girl, were wounded. The enemy strikes affected several districts of the region at once, causing damage to residential buildings and infrastructure. 

Russian troops carried out 924 strikes on the Zaporizhzhia region over the past 24 hours. Forty-two settlements came under fire. According to the regional military administration, one person was killed and 29 others were wounded, including three children.
