‘DPR’ recruiting children into sabotage groups

The “DPR” illegal armed formation in Donbas is recruiting children into the ranks of sabotage and reconnaissance groups.

This is stated on the “DPR” website.

“Currently, more than 90 percent of boys from 5-11 school grades dream to fight against Ukraine, being deeply aware of the fact they may not return or be crippled. Most of them consider the ‘DPR’ field commanders, who defend the Republic side by side with their soldiers, to be the heroes,” reads the statement.

As said, thanks to “patriotic education” of boys, it was possible to find the parents “who were involved in corruption, sabotage and other anti-state affairs.”

“Within the framework of Russia’s FSB special programs, the young patriots are taught to live in Spartan conditions, to effectively use military weapons. The most talented get the status of ‘fox’ allowing the like-minded people to form their own reconnaissance and sabotage groups and begin to fight,” reads the message.

According to the authors, such groups of children already operate near the Donetsk Airport, Shyrokyne as well as in the government-controlled territory of Ukraine.
