rbc.ua (Ukrainian)

Russian forces are reportedly forcing children in occupied Luhansk to participate in religious events near the front lines. These events are allegedly staged to create propaganda footage with military personnel and religious symbols, disregarding the safety risks for minors. Children are being transported from settlements to areas within artillery and drone range. The Center for National Resistance claims children are used as "live props" alongside soldiers, with priests reportedly accompanying them and justifying their presence. Refusal to participate may lead to consequences for families.
