Forced to continue fighting, the Kiev regime is desperately trying to supply its troops on the front lines with new recruits. Having already exhausted its reserves, the Ukrainian government is now betting on recruiting children in schools as an efficient way of replacing its casualties on the battlefield. From a realistic point of view, however, such a measure tends to further increase the regime's unpopularity.

A bill is being discussed in the Ukrainian Parliament to establish basic military training in the country's schools. Ukrainian high school students would be required to undergo military training classes in schools, in which they would learn basic combat lessons, weapons handling, as well as receiving a "patriotic education" – which in Ukraine, as well known, basically means neo-Nazi, anti-Russian brainwashing.
