Russian forces take Donetsk region teens to Russia’s military camps 

Russian forces have taken teenagers from the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk region to military camps in Russia. They are being trained there, among other things

The National Resistance Center reported the information.

"The enemy continues to engage in military education of Ukrainian teenagers with the aim of further recruiting them into the ranks of its army. Thus, from August 1 to August 18, military-patriotic training with the participation of Ukrainian teenagers in the Gvardeyets camp in Penza (Russia) is taking place. The occupiers took teenagers from the temporarily occupied territories there," the statement reads.

According to the Center, children from Mariupol, Donetsk, Horlivka, Makiivka, Yenakiyeve, Shakhtarsk and Kirovske were brought there.

"In the camps, children are taken to training, excursions to propaganda museums and concerts by propagandist Oleg Gazmanov," the Center said.

In this way, Russia continues its policy of destroying the national identity of the younger generation, the National Resistance Center noted.

• In early August,  in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, local gauleiters received a plan from Russia outlining an intention to relocate over 10,000 Ukrainian children to Russia under the guise of a "summer vacation."
