From: Euromaiden Press — Russian children’s army Yunarmia swells to 1.8 million, surpassing adult military forces of 42 leading countries of the world.
Yunarmia surpasses the combined army size of the EU – 1.5 million.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children from occupied regions are among its ranks. Starting from 17-18 years old, these kids can be deployed to combat operations due to manpower shortages.
The program teaches children military skills such as assembling assault rifles and marching, while also instilling anti-European sentiments and portraying Ukraine as an enemy.
