The Center of National Resistance reported that the Russian occupying authorities plan to send 12,000 Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied Luhansk region to various regions of the Russian Federation for ‘re-education’ during the summer holidays.
The plan was announced by the so-called head of LNR Leonid Pasechnik. In the so-called children’s camps, young Ukrainians will undergo propaganda training for 21 days.
It is noted that the ‘training’ will be conducted by the Russian military.
‘The involvement of Kremlin militants in the educational processes of the younger generation in Russia and the temporarily occupied territories is a very common practice,’ the statement says.
In addition, the Center of National Resistance states that the cases of physical violence and sexual harassment have already been recorded in such camps.
‘The invaders are doing their best to conceal these facts, but concerned citizens record these crimes and pass them on to the National Resistance Centre to bring the perpetrators to justice in the future,’ the statement goes.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
