Russian handlers are using social-media platforms to recruit
Ukrainian teenagers for sabotage missions against military
targets deep inside the country, Ukraine’s national police
said on Thursday.
More than 50 minors have come forward in recent weeks
to report approaches by people operating fake accounts
on messaging apps and networks, police said. Officers
believe the actual number of attempts is far higher.
The recruiters promise payments, sometimes in cryptocurrency,
and initially ask for sensitive information before encouraging
“acts of terrorism”, said Halyna Petrenko of Detector Media,
a Kyiv-based watchdog that tracks online manipulation.
“Most frequently they instruct the children to destroy or set
fire to military vehicles or enlistment-office cars,” Petrenko
told public broadcaster Polskie Radio. “The aim is to sow
public anxiety.”
. . .
Other than the money, not sure WHY Ukrainian kids
would want to work for Vlad. Likely there IS a
residual percentage of pro-Russia people there
however.
We note slick propaganda has been able to rally
a LOT of stupid youth in the EU and USA to support
Hamas and the other Islamists who want to finish
what Hitler started ... so, turncoats are hardly
unknown.
