Russian Children Transition From Classroom To Shooting Range

Pupils fire weapons and practise first aid at a range, in Vladikavkaz

In the midst of the ongoing crisis between Ukraine and Russia, children in Russia are being pulled from their classrooms and placed on shooting ranges as the conflict escalates.

The shift from education to military training for these young individuals is a stark reflection of the impact of war on civilian life. Instead of textbooks and pencils, these children are now handling guns and learning combat tactics.
