Mariupol City Council reported that in the temporarily occupied Mariupol, the russian "Yunarmiya" conducts classes for schoolchildren, where they are taught to use weapons. It is noted that the "Yunarmiya" cells have been active in schools #26 and #7 for almost two years. In addition, the occupiers regularly visit the city's educational institutions to conduct "lessons of courage".

"By these actions, the occupiers seek to first change the self-identification of young people, make them more loyal to russian rule, and then attract them to the ranks of their security forces and the occupation army", the city council emphasized.

Earlier, in the temporarily occupied Mariupol, the russian invaders organized a youth forum "Rose of Donbas", which honored war criminals.
