A growing number of young Ukrainians have been unknowingly recruited by Russian forces as unwilling suicide bombers as the Ukraine-Russia War drags on in its third year, the Guardian reported last week.
Russian forces have been recruiting Ukrainians, mainly teenagers, to bomb police stations, post offices, or military targets under the guise of odd jobs postings on Telegram as part of an ongoing shadow war.
For example, 19-year-old Oleh told the Guardian that he was offered $1,000 to video himself vandalizing a police station in western Ukraine with provided materials. He collected a rucksack from a given exchange point with what he thought was a canister of spray paint. When he opened the bag, he found a crude bomb with a cell phone attached to it as a crude remote detonation system.
Oleh's experience is part of a trend that has seriously injured or killed over a dozen people. Ukraine's SBU security agency said that this sabotage campaign began in the Spring of 2024. The attacks appear to target areas in western Ukraine, far beyond the frontlines in the east of the country.
In the earlier part of the campaign, teens were lured by "curators" who used a mix of blackmail and enticement to carry out arson attacks on Ukrainian civil and military infrastructure. This effectively allowed the Kremlin to target deep into western Ukraine without being physically present.

All the participants in this war are bad.
Always a sign that the war is going great for the side that does this.
The daily Zeepgasm.
Hush, Pooper.
There is popular support in Ukraine for the Russian attacks on recruiting stations.
Expect more of the same.
Maybe they just don’t want to die for nothing in the trenches.
ZEEP… ZEEP…ZEEP.🙀
So you can somehow rationalize forcing an 11 year-old child being forced to blow himself up and kill other innocent civilians?
Sheesh.

The Russians strapped bombs on the backs of dogs in WWII.
They were trained to run under panzers, then detonate.
It:s hard to believe there are fre freepers stupid enough to believe this, but it is funny to see these kind of posts
Next will be chemical warfare.
“The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian have no regard for human life and is an all out son of bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk.”
George S. Patton
Ukrainians are just little Russians.
The polacks prematurely cancelled their nuclear hand grenade development program.
True, they were. They fed them underneath tanks to condition them, starved them, and put the bombs on them, but some of the dogs were frightened by the sound of the Panzers, so they ran back into the Soviet trenches. Kaboom. Undeterred, Soviets fed the dogs this time under running tanks, but they forgot that the Soviet tanks they used ran on mogas, while Panzers ran on diesel, so the dogs ran under the mogas tanks on the battlefield. Kaboom again.
Russians really are quite stupid.
German accounts are they quickly learned to machine gun any of Man’s Best Friends running towards them.
Another account by an eastern front German soldier was that they noticed the Soviets took great interest at Kursk in watching the spectacle, then resumed firing.
Hear about the ice fishermen up north who were blowing holes in the ice with dynamite. One brought his hound along.
Rex saw his master toss one of the lit sticks, fetched it then crawled under their truck.
Yep. Biden, zelensky and putin. All are bad characters with their own agendas, and the result is that they have ground up more white males since wwii. For no good reasons at all.
BIG signing bonus
