Russia is systematically indoctrinating Ukrainian children in occupied territories. Programs like Yunarmia, a youth military organization, and other state-sponsored groups, are teaching pro-Russian narratives, military skills, and erasing Ukrainian identity. Children participate in parades, sing Russian songs, and make supplies for Russian soldiers. This campaign, sanctioned by the EU and UK, includes financial incentives for Russian teachers to relocate to occupied zones and utilizes a curriculum that justifies Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Thousands of children have also been taken to Russia, many without return.
