Could Putin send children into the battlefield?

Russia may use children from the occupied Crimea for “expendable material”. Teenagers from the “youth army” can be thrown into the battlefield of a full-scale war that Putin unleashed.

This was reported on Facebook by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

“Unfortunately, the “youth army” may turn out to be not just a media and propaganda story, not just a tool for brainwashing Crimean children and photographing kids in military uniforms for the campaign” victory. “Children who were involved in the Yunarmiya movement during the years of occupation of Crimea” , can be thrown onto a very real, and not propaganda, battlefield,” the message says.

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine found out that due to the lack of manpower to replenish the ranks of the occupying army, the Kremlin leadership may consider the possibility of involving minor citizens of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine.

According to the HUR, the corresponding order” on organizing the involvement of members of the military-patriotic public movement “youth army” in a special operation on the territory of Ukraine” was signed by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation,” the prosecutor’s office added.

The order refers to the preparation of a potential human reserve of children aged 17-18 to be involved in the war as part of the occupying army. If the Kremlin really wants to make teenagers “expendable”, then about 1,800 members of the “youth army” could go to war.

“Let us recall that the “youth army” is a Russian children’s and youth military organization under the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which is largely integrated into the educational process of educational institutions. It is distinguished by radical propaganda work among Russian youth. Children from the age of 8 become members of the organization,” from the statement.

By its actions, the Russian Federation wants to create as many obstacles as possible for the de-occupation of Crimea. For this, she is even ready actually to sacrifice children from the peninsula.

Akira Takarada, actor who starred in 'Godzilla' in 1954, dies at 87

Akira Takarada, an actor who starred in the first “Godzilla” movie and later became a peace activist, died of pneumonia on March 14. He was 87.

Born on the Korean Peninsula when it was under Japan’s colonial rule, Takarada and his family eventually moved to Manchuria and returned to Japan after the end of World War II.

Takarada was chosen as one of the new actors for Toho Co. in 1953, and he played the lead role in “Godzilla” the following year.

In addition to starring in various movies, Takarada took to the stage and appeared in Japanese versions of such musicals as “My Fair Lady,” “Kiss Me Kate” and “Gone with the Wind.”

In his later years, he became more active in the peace movement, due in part to his childhood experiences in wartime China as well as the background to Godzilla, a monster formed through exposure to radiation from a hydrogen bomb test.
