Evil Russian troops have snatched nearly 300 kids from a city in Ukraine and sent them to military camps in a bid to turn them into “zombies” who will be loyal to despot Vladimir Putin.
According to a report by Ukraine’s National Resistance Centre, Mad Vlad’s fighters continue to plumb new depths as their disastrous invasion of their western neighbour continues.
It’s not the first time the dictator has been accused of abducting youngsters.

Earlier in the war, he and his so-called child rights commissioner came in for global criticism for parading snatched Ukrainian kids like trophies in Moscow.
But turning abducted children into brainwashed fighters and then sending them back to attack their own country would represent yet another new low for Putin and his cronies.
The report from the National Resistance Centre states: “During July, the Russians took about 280 children from the Antratsytiv district (temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region) to the ‘Cossack cadet corps’ in the Republic of Kalmykia, Russian Federation.
“By the end of the summer, the occupiers plan to take out a total of about 500 Ukrainian children. Thus, the Russians not only kidnap children from the temporarily-occupied territory but also zomby them with aggressive propaganda, turning them into future janissaries.”
Janissaries were non-Muslim children snatched during the time of the Ottoman Empire and converted into fighters fiercely loyal to the Sultan.
The Ukrainians insist that those behind the evil child-snatching programme will one day face justice.
The statement by the centre added: “The National Resistance Centre emphasises that all those responsible for abducting children will be held accountable for their involvement in the genocide.
“Thus, the International Court of Justice in The Hague issued a warrant for the arrest of Vladimir Putin and the ‘child rights commissioner’ Maria Lvova-Belova.”
Putin originally thought that conquering Ukraine would be a breeze, but his humiliation has now lasted for more than 500 days amid stern resistance from Ukraine and a unified response from the West.
Recent reports have suggested that even Putin’s own inner circle wants to oust the dictator in a bid to bring the war to an end.
