Russian occupiers in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine systematically use propaganda to manipulate the consciousness of children, creating conditions for the spread of pro-Russian sentiments. Specifically, on the propaganda channel Luhansk 24, specially created children's programs are broadcast, aimed at distorting reality and imposing anti-Ukrainian narratives. This was reported by the Center for National Resistance.

Through game shows, contests, and informational programs, children are encouraged to support the occupiers' aggressive policies, using psychological pressure tactics. Programs that could foster creativity and humanitarian values instead instill support for violence, distorted historical facts, and propagandist clichés.

The goal of these actions is the destruction of Ukrainian identity in the younger generation and its integration into the aggressor's system. In addition to the destructive impact on national consciousness, this is an attempt to involve children in the occupiers' paradigm, forming a sense of alienation from their native culture and state.

The Center for National Resistance emphasizes that manipulating children in this way is a direct violation of international humanitarian law norms, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. These actions are considered war crimes, for which responsible individuals must be held accountable. Ukraine continues to actively collaborate with international organizations to document these crimes and ensure that the perpetrators are punished. At the same time, the state works to support affected children and their families to overcome the psychological and ideological pressures they have endured.
