In 2026, the Russians plan to hold a combat drone piloting championship for children as young as 7 years old.

According to the National Resistance Center, this decision was made by Putin himself.

"He ordered to reduce the minimum age of participants from 10 to 7 years and allow them to receive 'sports titles, '" the CNR said in a statement.

The center notes that a significant number of Ukrainian children from the TOT are already being prepared for this event.

"This is a new level of militarization of children of the terrorist country. The Kremlin is pouring billions into training future soldiers even before school. And in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, children are being completely indoctrinated with propaganda - they are being molded into cannon fodder for someone else's war," the Center noted.

The Center of National Resistance calls: identify "instructors" who prepare Ukrainian children to die for Putin.

In addition, this summer, the Kremlin plans to send 56,000 Ukrainian children to the Artek camp in the temporarily occupied Crimea, which the Russian authorities have turned into a center of propaganda and militarism. This is not about rehabilitation, but an attempt to destroy Ukrainian identity under the guise of children's recreation. The camp, which is under sanctions, has long been a tool of Russian propaganda, where children are taught militarism, the cult of power and hatred of everything Ukrainian.

The Russian authorities openly state that they intend to integrate children from the temporarily occupied territories into the so-called "Russian world." The CNS emphasized that this is a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions and qualifies as a war crime.

Recently, the sanctions list included the Artek children's camp and 48 people involved in the occupation of Crimea. The terrorist country has turned the seized camp into a militarization tool: military personnel who fought against Ukraine are rehabilitated here, and children are forced to work for the army for at least six hours a week - assembling drones, weaving camouflage nets, making trench candles and raising funds for medicines.

The very concept of Ukraine is completely erased from school textbooks, and children are indoctrinated from an early age into the cult of the tsarist state, where power is absolute. From the age of three, they are involved in projects such as the Eaglets of Russia, and from the age of 12, they are involved in the state-funded paramilitary organization Unarmia.
