The invaders in the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk Oblast are intensively training children and young people for war
In the temporarily occupied city of Luhansk, Russian invaders have established a military-sports center called “Warrior,” whose main goal is to encourage local children and young people to learn military skills.
This was reported on Telegram by Oleksiy Kharchenko, head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.
The center’s leadership has developed special long-term training programs aimed at systematically preparing a new mobilization force for participation in combat operations.
The occupation administration has clearly defined the age limits and areas of focus for this military structure to achieve maximum coverage of the population.
“The target audience of the Russian military-sports center ‘Warrior,’ operating in Luhansk, is children and young people up to 35 years of age. It is them that the invaders are preparing for war. They are taught to operate UAVs, as well as engineering, fire, and tactical training, the basics of national security, and more. Each of these areas has an approved curriculum,” Kharchenko wrote.
Ukrainian authorities emphasize the duration and high intensity of the training sessions conducted by Russian instructors at the newly established facility.
The head of the regional military administration specified that the shortest of these courses lasts 362 hours, meaning more than an hour every day for a year.
Other training courses last even longer, ensuring in-depth ideological indoctrination and the acquisition of practical military skills.
