Zelensky Now Indoctrinating Children To Go To War

The ‘Defense of Ukraine’ program at the military-patriotic center for schoolchildren in Lviv is now being criticized as Zelensky indoctrinating children to go to war.

Only two months ago the mainstream media widely circulated a video which they said showcased “shocking footage” of Russian school children training with military weapons in programs designed to prepare them for the military.  The programs were widely criticized as “indoctrination.” 

Of course, Ukraine has also been involved in weapons training for children and these efforts have only increased in recent months as the city of Bakhmut, an epicenter of the fighting for many months, has reportedly fallen to Russia’s Wagner Group.  CNBC has briefly reported on the “Defense of Ukraine” program at the military-patriotic center for schoolchildren in Lviv.  The center was opened this month with plans to open dozens of other training facilities for children across the country in the near future. 

The western city of Lviv has been a primary relocation point for children escaping the war in the east, so it’s not surprising that the Ukrainian government would seek young recruits for the war effort there.

According to U.S. officials, a retired soldier named Nicholas Maimer, who had previously served in the US Special Forces, was killed in Ukraine.
