Separatists use children for mine clearance

A group of teenagers was detained near Shchastye today who were attempting to clear mines from Ukrainian military positions. It emerged that separatists sent the children to do this, apparently fearing to carry out the task themselves. Of the four detained teenagers, one had previously had problems with the law, but his parents managed to bribe the law enforcement authorities.

Moreover, as our military noted, the young men were clearing mines very quickly and professionally. They have now been handed over to the Security Service of Ukraine.

«Сепаратисты и ватники используют малолетних детей для разминирования наших позиций. Вот эти были взяты нами при снятии мин, растяжек под Счастьем. Один из них (третий слева) уже имел дело с законом, когда порезал скаты на СТО, там находились машины ВСУ на ремонте. Отец откупил тогда. Сейчас надеемся это уже не получится. Были сданы в комендатуру, теперь ними занимается СБУ. Всем по 16 лет. Так что уголовная ответственность уже наступает. Снимают профессионально и быстро. Не каждый сапер рискнет снимать чужие мины. На вопрос "Зачем это делали?" - ответ однозначный "Хотели заработать гривен 300". ТАК КТО ФАШИСТЫ? МЫ ИЛИ ВАТА? Теперь шутки закончились. Мины будут мгновенного действия и с секретами двумя, тремя. ТАК ЧТО РОДИТЕЛИ СМОТРИТЕ ЗА СВОИМИ ДЕТКАМИ, ХВАТИТ НАИГРАЛИСЬ, СМЕРТИ ДЕТЕЙ БУДУТ НА ВАШЕЙ СОВЕСТИ» (Separatists and pro-Russian activists use very young children for mine clearance of our positions. These were taken by us while removing mines and tripwires near Shchastye. One of them (third from the left) had already dealt with the law when he slashed tyres at a service station where Ukrainian Armed Forces vehicles were being repaired. His father bribed them then. We hope that will not work this time. They were handed over to the military administration, and now the SBU is dealing with them. They are all 16 years old. So criminal liability already applies. They remove them professionally and quickly. Not every sapper would dare to remove enemy mines. To the question "Why did you do this?" the answer was unequivocal: "We wanted to earn 300 hryvnias." SO WHO ARE THE FASCISTS? US OR THE PRO-RUSSIAN ACTIVISTS? The jokes are over now. Mines will be instant-action and with two or three secrets. SO PARENTS, WATCH YOUR CHILDREN, ENOUGH PLAYING, THE DEATHS OF CHILDREN WILL BE ON YOUR CONSCIENCE), reported Viktor Serdyuk on his Facebook page.
