Putin enlists three-year-olds to make special winter socks for soldiers at school, for Russian soldiers going to the front lines. The children are forced to join Putin’s war effort by sewing kits for the soldiers

Children at a school in eastern Russia began helping the war effort, assembling drones to be used by Russian forces in the war against Ukraine. Students were told to make beds for soldiers in nearby barracks, other students built beds for nearby training camps.

In a school in Sovniki, for example, the children were shown how to make winter socks for the soldiers to use. According to the new outline in Russia, teenagers are supposed to receive 140 hours of military training in which they will learn how to kill. Russia’s defense and education ministries both support the dreaded curriculum.

One of the parents at the school explained to the local media that the plan has the support of the parents, and those who oppose it are “strange”. She said: “When one of the parents angrily protested against the political and military agenda of such young children, he was not supported, instead he was sent to discuss it with the kindergarten principal.”

In Moscow’s Perdgordny district, children were instructed to make socks for soldiers with a V or Z symbol. Oleg Kuzhmyaku, the governor of the Primorsky region said: “We have shown drones to everyone and their effectiveness in modern combat conditions, students from our universities are already making such devices, by the end of the month 100 will be produced UAVs”.
