Vladimir Putin made it very clear that he has no interest in peace. “Ukraine belongs to us,” he said a few days ago that he would launch Russia’s largest air strike (537 missiles and drones). The massive attack follows news that Ukrainian children accused of Russia may not return, and recruiting young people will become unconscious suicide bombers.
Ukrainian Air Force I said That they shot down 249 Russian drones and 226 people were lost probably due to technical issues. Sources also told the U.S. headquarters news agency that one of the F-16 fighters provided by Western partners crashed after being damaged while shooting down air targets. The pilot is dead.
In the meantime, the Guardian Narration My 19-year-old story found work through a telegram channel that offers day work. The money was good, $1,000. All he had to do was travel from his home in eastern Ukraine to the city of Livne in the west. There he was given a rucksack containing a paint canister, and all he had to do was spray it outside the local police station.
Built for remote explosion
However, when he opened his bag outside the Rivne Police Station, he feared that instead of a paint canister there was something he believed to be a homemade bomb with wires and a cell phone installed, intended for a remote explosion.
The Guardian says so far, Ukrainian police have reported more than 12 attacks in which the assailant has been injured or killed.
The Russian sabotage campaign within Ukraine began last spring, SBU spokesman Artem Dekhtiarenko I said Guardian. The act was initially an arson attack on military vehicles, draft and post offices. It mainly aimed towards the western region of Ukraine, far from the front.
The attackers were primarily teenagers and were recruited by telegram like me. They were lit by fire and tasked with filming those videos. These videos were later widely shared across Russia to demonstrate the growing “dissatisfaction” in Ukraine.
“These attacks were part of a secret shadow war that was raging alongside the frontline conflict. Russia is also carrying out arson and sabotage attacks in European countries,” the Guardian said.
Arsonists have been replaced by “suicide” bombers
Suicide bombings quickly replaced arson tactics. “They have started recruiting large numbers of Ukrainians to plant bombs, including cars, near the draft council, near the police station,” Dekhtiarenko said.
The Guardian interviewed Olef. I showed all the telegram conversations with those identified as Alexander. The person sent Oleh to Crypto for $200 for the costs backed by the British press.
Sources who spoke with the Guardian said Oren, who asked his friend Serihii to join the job, was seen from the moment he picked up the bomb. Although Ukrainian investigators already had the lead, three days ago Livne had experienced a very similar attack. A 21-year-old unemployed person was recruited on Telegram to collect the devices and transport them to one of the city’s military conscription offices. The device exploded, killing the attacker and wounding eight soldiers.
Oleh and Serhiy are in prison awaiting trial. If convicted, each faces up to 12 years in prison. The European intelligence agency has confirmed that Ukraine is a test of Russian sandboxes to test terrorist attacks, and believes Putin will also launch attacks in the EU and NATO member states.
Steal the future of Ukraine
Russia is trying to steal Ukraine’s future by acquiring children, according to Reuters Report. Kiev says that around 35,000 children have been stolen in Russia or Russian occupied territories since the war began three years ago, Reuters added.
“Russia is stealing our future,” said Mykola Kleba, leader of a Ukrainian charity who talks about the war and works to return children, talking about the bystanders of an international summit in Switzerland.
Russia refused to return the children to Ukraine. Moscow officials accused Ukraine of “staging shows on topics of lost children” during this month’s ceasefire meeting in Turkey, the Guardian another Report.
“This is likely the biggest child acceleration in the war since World War II, comparable to the German language of Polish children by the Nazis,” said Nathaniel Raymond, executive director of Yale’s Institute of Humanitarian Studies, which investigates child acceleration.
Raymond added: “When the Russians started, they thought they would win soon, so this program was rolled out and we were able to rhoshoot Ukraine rather than bringing these kids along.”
