Russians are trying to make children accomplices in the war of conquest against Ukraine.

The famous children’s holiday camp “Artek” in occupied Crimea has been turned into a propaganda center and a place for free child labor by Russians, the Center for National Resistance (CNR) reports .

Thus, children are forced to assemble drones to kill Ukrainians, weave camouflage nets, make trench candles and collect funds for medicines for the “heroes of the SVO”. The Central Nervous System also says that the Artek children were recently forced to collect 223 kilograms of olives for the needs of the occupation army.

“Local collaborators regularly conduct such “volunteer” actions. On the basis of a once exemplary children’s holiday camp, the Kremlin’s henchmen have created a whole production facility for aid to the Russian army. Here, young guests must work mandatory work hours. No less than 6 hours a week,” the Central Nervous System says.

The National Resistance Center notes that this practice of attracting the population to support Putin’s army is quite common in the occupied Ukrainian territories. This is done, among other things, to cultivate loyalty to their enslavers in the younger generation, the Center says.
