Russia Recruiting Unknowing Suicide Bombers

A growing number of young Ukrainians have been unknowingly recruited by Russian forces as unwilling suicide bombers as the Ukraine-Russia War drags on in its third year, the Guardian reported last week.

Comments

"Russian forces have been recruiting Ukrainians, mainly teenagers, to bomb police stations, post offices, or military targets under the guise of odd jobs postings on Telegram as part of an ongoing shadow war.

For example, 19-year-old Oleh told the Guardian that he was offered $1,000 to video himself vandalizing a police station in western Ukraine with provided materials.

He collected a rucksack from a given exchange point with what he thought was a canister of spray paint.

When he opened the bag, he found a crude bomb with a cell phone attached to it as a crude remote detonation system."
