While waiting to receive weapons, bombings continue in Ukraine with Russian strikes. As winter arrives, Ukraine is preparing for the future by training its teenagers in the use of weapons in particular.

Another night of terror in Ukraine. Russians fired dozens of cruise missiles at several cities Wednesday September 20 in the night. Most were destroyed by anti-aircraft defense. The strikes targeted energy infrastructure, but mainly residential areas were affected. At least three civilians were killed. 19 months of war already and a new winter approaching. SO, Ukrainians organize themselves and prepare for all eventualities, the youngest too. In a shelter, teenagers train to use weapons, like astudent who learns to shoot a rifle at virtual targets.

Complete training

The training provided is comprehensive, with different modules such as dismantling an assault rifle AK-47. The goal for participants is to become familiar with all types of weapons. We find the same on the front. Nothing seems to have been forgotten. A computer program teaches these young people how to pilot a virtual drone. In Ukraine today, no one escapes war. It has even interfered in school programs, in children’s games or in training.
