FSB sta reclutando bambini ucraini per il sabotaggio e la diffusione del panico: ecco cosa fanno e come accade a Kharkiv

**By recruiting teenagers, Russians often aim to spread panic, says Dmytro Chubenko, prosecutor’s office spokesperson**

**“These actions serve their goals — for instance, damaging ‘Ukrzaliznytsia’ (Ukrainian Railways) equipment to delay trains and disrupt supply schedules. There’s also a psychological component. When an explosion happens near a police station, it’s covered in the news — some people take it very personally, others remain calm. Some start to worry; others leave the city. Everyone reacts differently,” Chubenko explained.**

**Sometimes they openly admit to being Russian intelligence officers. Other times, they pose as members of the “resistance” or pretend to be Ukrainians or fellow teenagers who have funding and are willing to pay for completed tasks.**

**Chubenko says recruiters often use Telegram job-seeking groups and niche job boards. They might:**

* **Pretend to be “activists” fighting injustice;**
* **Claim that “the authorities don’t care about you, but we will help”;**
* **Offer payment — from hundreds to thousands of dollars**
* **Manipulate teens’ emotions, exploiting their distrust of the government.**

**Teens are used because they are more impressionable and easier to manipulate with certain narratives. For example, recruiters might ask, “Do you dislike the Territorial Recruitment Centers (TCC)?” Many teens would say yes based on what they’ve heard from family or social media. That leads them to actions like setting military vehicles on fire.**

**“When people ask what they need to do, they are told: ‘Take photos of such-and-such buildings,’ or ‘Watch and report when and how many people leave, and in which vehicles.’ This is where things become specific. Some refuse when they realize it’s linked to Russia. Others agree or don’t fully grasp the implications,” Chubenko said.**

**Some of the most common cases in criminal proceedings include:**

* **Arson of government buildings and military vehicles under Russian direction;**
* **Attempted sabotage of infrastructure like railways;**
* **Taking and transmitting photos of military facilities;**
* **Creating homemade explosive devices.**

**“Not all tasks are carried out, as police and the SBU often catch these individuals early — sometimes during the planning stage. ” Chubenko said.**

**Chubenko says Russia targets minors mainly because it is cheaper.**

**“It’s hard for kids to earn money — they lack skills, education, or experience,” he explained.**

**Teens want money to buy iPhones or go out — they don’t want to be worse off than their peers.**

**Most recruited children come from middle-class families, ” says Chubenko.**

**“These are ordinary families. They have cars, apartments, and decent living conditions”.**
