Camp coach instills nationalism and struggle against Russia in children
"Gambling, playing guitar, climbing mountains..." In addition to these, summer camps are also training children to kill! Russian media recently reported that some training camps in Ukraine under the banner of "patriotism" are publicly teaching children how to shoot through summer camps, with the goal of killing Russians. What's going on?
This training camp is hidden in the forest near Ternopol in western Ukraine. At the end of July this year, an Associated Press reporter saw more than a dozen minors training here. The youngest of them was only 8 years old and the oldest was only 18 years old. These teenagers usually have to hold submachine guns for shooting training, and also participate in "emergency exercises" at night.
The Associated Press reported that this is a summer camp created by Ukrainian radical nationalist organizations. These "campers" wear camouflage uniforms and practice aiming carefully with assault rifles. Their coach makes suggestions: Don't think your target is human. When these boys and girls shoot, they are trying to kill people.
coach Yuri Cherkashin is a veteran of the pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine and the leader of a nationalist organization. He said it was important to instill nationalist ideas into young people so that they could fight “Putin’s Russia” and “the challenge that could completely destroy European civilization.”
The Associated Press report immediately attracted widespread attention from Russia. On the 13th, a Russian netizen commented under relevant reports that the purpose of these radicals is to make Ukraine and the Russian people always an enemy and completely separate the ties between the two countries.
In fact, Russian media have also reported on these "patriotic training camps" in Ukraine, saying that their goal is to kill the Russians. Russia's Pravda said in August this year that the Ukrainian Square Revolution and the Donbass War have made many radical nationalists regarded as heroes. They played the role of volunteers in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia, and they also maintained contact with the Ukrainian government.
Russian media pointed out that as the nationalist sentiment in Ukraine expands, similar training camps have begun to appear. Earlier this year, the Ukrainian Ministry of Youth and Sports allocated 4 million Hryvnia (about 150,000 US dollars) to provide funding for the construction of dozens of "youth camps" by nationalists. The ministry said its purpose is to carry out "national patriotic education." At present, hundreds of teenagers have trained in such summer camps, learning to fight with knives and shoot machine guns, and are also receiving hatred education against Russia.
