Leaked conscript files and registration showed Russia’s plan to mobilize Ukrainian children born in 2007 for its invasion, said Mariupol mayor advisor.

Documents from the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) – now supposedly incorporated into Russia by Putin’s decree – showed the Kremlin’s plans to conscript children born in 2007 for its upcoming mobilization, reported Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.

Recruiting children to fight against their own state would constitute a war crime.

Andryushchenko shared the documents in a Telegram update and said the creation of conscript files and the registration of children born in 2007 for military registration has already begun.

    I feel there’s something happening here, and that’s something we should all avoid.

    All the original commenter highlighted is that the source is questionable. You can’t just take the Kyiv Post article and blindly believe it, it’s like getting the picture of the war from the TASS agency in Russia.

    As much as Ukraine might be right, it absolutely doesn’t mean every word from there is 100% crystallized truth. Before drawing any conclusions, it’s worth investigating multiple credible sources.

    Or you should completely reject objectivity and embrace the fact that you put emotions before truth. Such people are easily manipulated into everything.
