Multiple investigations reveal that Russia is actively recruiting children and teenagers, both from within its own borders and from occupied Ukrainian territories, to participate in military drone development and production.
These efforts include using video games to identify tech-savvy youth, organizing propaganda events, and running summer camps where children are taught to assemble drones. In occupied regions, Russian authorities are also replacing local Ukrainian populations with Russian citizens and migrants, while pushing aggressive indoctrination campaigns to foster loyalty to Russia. The involvement of children in military activities has raised serious concerns among human rights groups and has been cited in international legal actions against Russian leadership.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is also training its youth in drone piloting, but for defensive purposes.
