Russia's Systematic Militarization and Indoctrination of Ukrainian Children Revealed
A Yale University report reveals Russia's extensive network of sites where Ukrainian children are being reeducated and trained militarily, including at cadet academies and schools for children as young as 8, with over 210 locations identified across Russia and occupied Ukraine. The investigation highlights the systematic stripping of Ukrainian cultural identity and the militarization of thousands of children, with estimates suggesting up to 35,000 children are affected. Ukraine insists that the return of these children must be part of any peace negotiations, and the issue has garnered international attention as a potential war crime.
