Schools in western Ukraine are rolling out rifle and pistol shooting practice using interactive software, a regional official said Thursday, signalling how Russia’s nearly two-year invasion has impacted school life.
The war has upended Ukraine’s education system, forcing classes online as fighting destroys school facilities and officials introduce war-time curricula, including firing drills and drone piloting.
Dark.
Let’s hope our governments provide enough support to Ukraine so these types of classes can cease and those students will never have to apply these skills.
Pray this training turns out to be for nothing and these children can live their future without it.
Those are air rifles, but I get it.
Fuck sake don’t be giving Republicans any ideas!
This understandably may seem chilling though not particularly surprising. The invaders have introduced this training into their curriculums as well.
Soon Hitlerjugend! What a bright future for Ukraine!
I wonder how this goes down.
A few months ago when there was videos of Russian kids doing gun dismantle demos and cleaning drills etc, everyone was screaming about how they are training the youth for war (which is obvious when ww3 is around the corner). Obviously defense vs offense leads to a different mindset but im sure most people on anti Russia side are seeing this as good and a sign that pootin can’t win because of the strength of Ukraine etc.
I know ill get downvoted because “hurrr Russia bad obviously!” But the irony would be lost on a lot of those people so, its interesting
