Young people in the occupied Crimea are promised “preferences in admission campaigns” for joining militaristic clubs, including the “Young Army”. This was reported by the Center of National Resistance.

“Russians are agitating young men to join militaristic clubs, in particular the “Young Army”. The campaign is conducted in sports clubs and educational institutions. In particular, the enemy promises members of such clubs preferences in the admission campaign,” the CNR writes.

According to the center, in 2023 alone, about a hundred members of the “Young Army” went to fight in the Russian army against Ukraine.

We want to remind, more than 30 thousand children in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea were drawn into the Russian “Young Army” movement. “Young Army” was created to spread propaganda among children and teenagers in Russia and in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
