In the police, they showed how Russia recruits teenagers for sabotage

Russia continues to engage Ukrainian teenagers. This time, the aggressor country attempted to make an ordinary schoolboy from Odesa its "agent."

This information was published by the First Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department, Oleksiy Biloshytskyi. He noted that the enemy is using teenagers for sabotage.

"Review the screenshots of such an attempt from a schoolboy in Odesa who was contacted by a recruiter. Ongoing preventive work with students about the dangers lurking online is yielding results," the message reads.

Biloshytskyi added that a 9th-grade student recently approached the Odesa Educational Security Service inspector. He reported that unknown individuals contacted him in a Telegram channel and offered him "some money."

The teenager’s task was to set fire to RTC vehicles, administrative buildings, and leave graffiti on them. They promised monetary rewards for this.

"Initially, they entice them with simple tasks, like photographing a certain object or drawing graffiti. If this is completed, they try to involve the child in more serious subversive activities—through blackmail or promises of earnings," Biloshytskyi notes.

He emphasizes that in this case, everything ended well. The schoolboy saved the correspondence on his phone and gave it to the Educational Security Service inspector. The relevant services have been informed and are working on this matter.

"Friends, be vigilant and explain to children the risks behind such ’offers.’ Don’t stay silent! If you are aware of recruitment information, report it immediately. Either to the police at number 102 or to the special SSU chat-bot ’Expose a FSB agent,’" the message states.
