Yale researchers find Russia trains Ukrainian children in combat and patriotic narratives

Russia operates an extensive network of sites for Ukrainian children, including military training for those as young as 8, according to Yale researchers. The report identifies 210 locations where children are reeducated with Russian patriotic narratives and taught combat skills, with 19% of sites showing evidence of military training. This network spans across Russia and occupied Ukraine, with some facilities managed by Russian authorities, and comes amid ongoing accusations of unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children.
