Belarus sent out a group of kids just recently showed up in the nation from inhabited Ukraine to train with the Belarusian armed force, the nation’s state tv stated.
The training gotten by the 35 kids consisted of how to leave a structure in case of a fire, the Belarus1 channel stated.
The report included the kids, originating from the Russian-occupied town of Antratsyt in the Luhansk Oblast, are being taught “how to act in severe scenarios”.
Video footage shared by the state tv channel revealed a smoke-filled space and the kids keeping the wall throughout the evacuation.
Throughout the video, the children can be seen using a Russian flag stitched onto their sleeves.

Taken by Belarusian authorities to the city of Mogilev, the children are supposedly being housed in a mental hospital and took care of by workers at the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Evgeniy Sokolov, inspector of the basic training centre for the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the city in eastern Belarus, stated: “This is not simply dry theory, however our classes are performed in a lively format and are focused on kids.”
The stunning report began January 10, in the middle of accusations from Ukraine and Belarus’ political opposition that Belarusian authorities are taking part in the unlawful transfer of Ukrainian kids on a mass scale. Critics state this becomes part of a project to make the children pro-Russian.
Belarus, among Russia‘s closest allies, has actually been implicated in a current Yale University research study of having actually moved more than 2,400 Ukrainian kids aged in between 6 and 17 from partly occupied areas in Ukraine to its soil.
The political opposition in Belarus has actually gotten in touch with the International Criminal Court to act versus President Alexander Lukashenko and his federal government authorities for their declared participation in the unlawful transfer of the kids.
Mr Lukashenko had actually formerly called the elimination of kids from Ukraine a “recovery” program targeted at assisting children from ruined cities.
In March in 2015, the ICC provided arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia‘s Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova after considering them “supposedly accountable for the war criminal activity of illegal deportation” and “illegal transfer” of kids from occupied Ukraine to the Russian Federation. The Kremlin has actually declined any allegation of misdeed.
