Recruitment of Minors by Russia for Attacks on Soldiers
June 10, 2026
The chief of Ukrainian police alleged that Russia is recruiting underage Ukrainian girls to attack soldiers. Since the beginning of the year, six cases of paid murders have been recorded, organized through messaging apps. Recruiters promise easy money and provide instructions to approach soldiers via dating websites. A 17-year-old was recently arrested on suspicion of participating in a soldier's poisoning. The police warn about the serious consequences of these actions.
