All in person. | Press briefing titled “Stolen Childhood: russia’s Preparation of Ukrainian Children for War Amid Occupation and Deportation Why is it interesting? russia is notorious for systematically committing war crimes in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Specifically, occupiers are coercing children into military activities within the occupied areas or forcibly relocating them to russian and belarusian territories. This strategic tactic is part of russia’s calculated policy, aimed at erasing Ukrainian identity among youth and assimilating them to address russia’s demographic challenges. These children are being groomed as future reserves for the russian military, primed for potential involvement in the conflict against Ukraine. The russian regime is actively engaging in ideological indoctrination of Ukrainian youth in occupied or displaced regions. Employing propaganda within educational systems, the kremlin seeks to justify its unabated aggression against Ukraine. Under the guise of providing support for post-traumatic stress disorder, specialized camps are established to recruit minors into various paramilitary russian youth organizations like russia’s Youth Army military-patriotic movement, Vagnerenok (Junior Wagnerite), and Vympel youth military-patriotic centers. Here, they are molded into pawns of the kremlin, resembling nothing more than “toy soldiers.” Ukrainian children are coerced into writing letters and crafting postcards addressed to the very russian forces that occupy and devastate their communities.
