Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu are preparing to use minors in the war against Ukraine.
This was reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
“Due to the lack of manpower to replenish the ranks of the occupying army, the Kremlin leadership is considering the possibility of involving underage citizens of the Russian Federation in hostilities. “, the message says.
It is noted that, according to the order, reporting is being prepared for a potential human reserve at the age of 17-18 to be involved in hostilities as part of the occupying army.
“The top military leadership of the Russian Federation should provide proposals for the training of the specified personnel as soon as possible. Control over the execution of the order is entrusted to the head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Gennady Zhidko,” the intelligence service notes.
Yunarmiya is a Russian youth military organization under the Ministry of Defense of Putin’s Russia. It is distinguished by radical propaganda work among Russian youth. Children from the age of 8 become members of the organization.
“Similar actions were carried out by the military leadership of Nazi Germany during World War II. Since 1943, high school students in the Hitler Youth units were recruited to serve in anti-aircraft artillery units. And from September 1944 to January 1945, 150 thousand underage girls,” the GUR states.
Recall that on February 24, the Russian military broke into Ukrainian territory early in the morning . First, the invaders bombed military facilities, and then attacked peaceful settlements, in particular, Kyiv, Mariupol, Chernihiv, Kharkov, Kherson and Nikolaev.

In another report, they want to use men up to the age of 65. The parallels to Hitler’s Germany in the late stages of WWII are enormous. So too will be the end result. Such conscripts really are nothing but cannon fodder. The casualty rate for mafia land will explode. Pardon the pun.
17? Seriously? If putin’s real soldiers are running away from the Ukrainian meat grinder how long will these children with 2 weeks of training last? What will their mothers say? The rat is cornered.
This measure cannot and will not bear fruit. That’s a fact.
As much as I’m so happy to see this report, I just have a sense that it isn’t that simple. The bastards have missiles and are inflicting continual damage to our society. All this while “Nero ( in this case the west) plays his violin while Rome (Ukraine) burns.”
I just don’t understand the insensitivity of the west. That’s the real criminal in this tragedy.
