Chilling Russian military indoctrination camps warping kids from occupied Ukraine to become fodder for tyrannical Putin
EVIL Vladimir Putin is forcing innocent kids from occupied territories to join Russian forces to aid his meatgrinder war in Ukraine.
Thousands of Ukrainian kids have been sent to chilling Russian military indoctrination camps where they are taught how to use advanced weapons and control killer drones.
These sinister military camps, set up at Putin's command, are providing young children from occupied Ukraine with brutal military training.
It is feared these kids could become fodder for the tyrant and fight for his illegal war against Ukraine.
Shocking pictures show young teens assembling Kalashnikov assault rifles and controlling drones at one such military camp, while others can be seen shooting at a firing range.
One kid was seen being trained on how to clear a minefield, sparking fears that such intense military training would see these kids joining the Russian army and going to the frontlines to fight.

The Russian state media has boasted about the placement of Ukrainian children in these camps that are run by a Russian war organisation called Voin.
In the one camp alone, more than 330 children were from occupied regions of Ukraine.
Some 44 were from Zaporizhzhia, 59 from Kherson, 139 from Donetsk and 91 from Luhansk, it is understood.
And not just intense military training, these kids are also exposed to powerful Putin indoctrination and Russian brainwashing - a part of Russia's propaganda warfare.
One teen girl, Valeriya N, who was believed to be 16, from Ukraine's Kherson region, was allegedly brainwashed and used to advertise the "Time for Young Heroes".
She said in a video: “[Russian military] can really teach you something here.
“I came to learn how to operate UAVs [military drones]. The instructors here are experienced. They have been through the war."
Another teenage girl Iryna who is undergoing military training said in a propaganda video: "We have to remember civilians who are not guilty in this war, the children who had dreams but their fate turned out differently.
“It could have been us in their place. It's very sad.
“I wouldn't wish this on anyone, even my worst enemy.
“It's very scary when you hear loud sounds and you don't understand what's going on around you."
Such propaganda pieces urge children from occupied Ukraine as well as Russia to join these military camps and fight for evil Putin.
The camp's ad campaign says: "Summer is coming. A time of bold experimentation and limitless possibilities.
"A time to discover yourself, to open new horizons and go beyond what you're used to.
"This is where dreams come true and strength turns into superpowers. This is where true leaders are made
"It's time to step out into the real world, with full ammunition."
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for both Putin and his head of the Children's Rights Department.
