This was reported by the National Resistance Centre.

"Russian occupiers are hiding the military in the premises of existing schools in the temporarily occupied territories to hide behind children," the statement reads.

The enemy explains the deployment of the military on school grounds as "paramilitary security" for the safety of children. As a result, combat units of the Russian Armed Forces are deployed on vacant floors.

Also, in the temporarily occupied city of Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia region, the Russian forces set up a military hospital on the territory of a kindergarten.

"In this way, the enemy is hiding behind the civilian population in violation of the rules of war and International Humanitarian Law," the Resistance emphasises.

  • The General Staff said that medical students arrived in Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia, for a 20-day internship in combat units due to a shortage of doctors in the Russian army.
  • In Tokmak, in the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia, a Buryat unit of the Russian Federation confiscate housing from locals and physically abuse those who disagree, according to the evening report of the General Staff on 21 August.
