Mikhail Sheremet , a so-called deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the Republic of Crimea and a participant in the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014, is supervising the process of manufacturing special devices for fast charging Kalashnikov magazines at Simferopol School No. 5.
According to Golos Kryma, the children are to make more than 1,000 of these devices by the Defender of the Fatherland Day, which is celebrated in Russia on February 23.
"High school students are making special devices by order of the soldiers of the 147th Guards Simferopol Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment, which actually "patronizes" the school," the report says.
The media also noted that the parts are made on the basis of a workshop of applied modeling (3D printing), which the occupation authorities and "teachers" of the school organized in 2020.
"During this time, students have designed and printed more than 200 types of various parts, including for radios and FPV drones, mainly for the Russian Armed Forces soldiers in the combat zone on the territory of Ukraine," Holos Kryma added.
In addition, schoolchildren are involved in weaving camouflage nets and making trench candles for the Russian occupiers. According to the "director" of the school, Dmytro Provedion, the "volunteer division" in the educational institution operates in accordance with an "agreement" with one of the occupation military units in Simferopol.
In the temporarily occupied territories, the invaders are also creating engineering classes to teach teenagers how to assemble drones for the needs of the Russian army. The classes are being opened with the support of the occupation administrations, including the so-called ministries of education. The Russians have already approved a program to expand the network of these classes by 2030.
In addition, in the annexed Crimea, children in the Russian-occupiedArtek recreation center are forced to spend at least six hours a week producing aid for the Russian army. The children have to assemble drones, weave camouflage nets, make trench candles and raise money for medicines.
Earlier, the lawyer of the Regional Center for Human Rights Kateryna Rashevska said that the re-education of Ukrainian teenagers and youth is very well integrated into the policy of the Russian Federation, and it is carried out by bodies of different levels - federal, regional, occupation and even Ukrainian collaborators:
"This is a set of measures aimed at militarizing and politically indoctrinating Ukrainian children through both formal and non-formal education."
