In the occupied Luhansk region, Russia has launched a program to train child snipers

In the occupied territory of Luhansk region, Russia has introduced a new training program for child snipers. At the "Warrior" center, teenagers are taught to shoot at long distances.

This was reported with reference to the statement of the head of Luhansk Regional State Administration, Oleksiy Kharchenko.

According to Kharchenko, children from the occupied territories of Luhansk region are being prepared by Russians for the role of snipers.

"Starting from 2025, the military-patriotic education center ’Warrior’ has introduced a new training direction - sniping," he reported.

As the head of the Regional State Administration noted, during summer specialized sessions, teenagers are taught to shoot accurately at long distances.

Interestingly, the training of children is conducted by instructors, 75% of whom have participated in the war in Ukraine.

"Children are being deprived of their future already today - in a few years, they will be sent to fight," Kharchenko remarked.
