Occupiers lower the age for taking the military oath to 14 on the temporarily occupied territories
Russian occupiers are launching a new wave of militarizing children in the temporarily occupied territories, lowering the age for taking the military oath to 14.
“The occupation administrations have now been given a pretext to draw children even deeper into pro-Russian structures such as the ‘Yunarmiya’ and various paramilitary clubs,” Yellow Ribbon writes.
Activists report that teenagers are being prepared as part of a future mobilization pool: trained ideologically, in discipline, and psychologically — essentially creating a reserve for future waves of mobilization.
Although formally this is “not mobilization,” in practice Russia has repeatedly used minors for auxiliary tasks — as informants, couriers, and distributors of propaganda, so the risk of further exploitation of minors is increasing.
It is worth recalling that Trump has named what he considers the most suitable moment for a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
The American “peace plan” has also been shortened to 19 points and is being kept secret.
