Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine have set up youth training camps.
Young were told that the fight is against fascism not Ukraine.
Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from the town of Makiivka, Ukraine.

Girls speech was great ” we didn’t want to do same mistake “
kids are always so eager to ‘grow up’ and will do silly things to prove their maturity or gain respect / get validation. i wish them all the best, it doesn’t seem like they had much choice. even if they think the choice was theirs.
Fascism is more associated with Russia than Ukraine, so why are they pro-russian if they are really trying to fight against fascism?
What a non sense war
Propaganda tactics are the same in every country, like a universal political recipe.
Aljazeera sponsors and promote terrorism, seperatism and radicalism
real fascism is in Russia with the boss-fascist Führer putler. Here is the centre of antiamerican and antieuropian propaganda, the centre of hate and so called russian “supremacy”.
But…..Putin is kinda of fascist….
Nationalist, xenophobic, homophobic, authoritarian etc.
Ukraine fascist? Really:?
Боже..уже и детей используют в грязных играх ..
We Mexicans would also like our territory back stolen in 1848 from the gringos but we don’t have atomic weapons like Russia. RUSSIA CAN AND WILL PUT ORDER IN EUROPE, AND STOP COLONIALISM FROM THESE EUROPEANS.
Long live Russia and Putin! from MExico
Mexico’s lawsuit accuses some of the biggest gun manufacturers of knowingly contributing to illegal arms trafficking and fuelling bloodshed through reckless business practices. It said the companies had sold “ever-more lethal” weapons without “mechanisms of security or traceability”.
My full respect!
With your profile I’m not even surprised
youth soldier or child soldier
The separatists are Fascists. Period.
Strength is awesome
Russian Brainwashing
R the soldiers in canvas shoes 👟!
Is Ukranian ripe for sale!
This like the fascist Germany they had Ughen army where kids enlisted into army. Very pathetic to exploit children in the wars. The only thing they teach children to hate thy neighbor. Who are the fascists in Ukraine according to Russians Ukrainians who don’t want to be part of Russian and Russian gulags
A wasteful youth
When you build a pipeline through you neighbors property , Expect to pay your neighbor for trade passage. When you build a new pipeline around that neighbor , Expect the corrupt to act out. Russian troops will not cross border until Ukraine cuts flow to Germany.
Lets pray for World peace 🚨🚨🚨.
🙏🙏🙏God is listening
So they want to defend a country that puts them in harm’s way. Brainwashing
Putin-Jugend.
I would not want my kids to fight for these coward defacto government
ive seen this before somewhere 🤔🤔🤔
What is facism? I’m sure 99 percent of people don’t have a clue!
Mad Ukrainian same language same blood same people why join to western mad politicians, don’t mess with cousins🤣🤣😭😭

Слава вам герои российскии федерации !
“the fight is agaist fascism”

Peace nd love is the best✌✌✌❤❤❤
Putinkgb = Hitler
Well let us see. One side has had a ruthless dictator in charge for over 20 years. otherside the leader has been in charge for 2 years. Hmmm not very good facists lol BTW young people your side shot down a commerical aircraft and killed 250 malaysian and dutch people! Nice job!
“Fight against fascism” while being part of a hatefull far right organization, the irony…
Really? That part of the Ukraine has always been Russian territory after WWII. Your the invader. Protect Biden investments at all cost. Stupid is as stupid does.
So cute…
typical western media Always reporting bad new
All ways with out the consciousness of the live they destroy
and reporting it as if its
Like 1941 or WW2 all over again
What is UKRAINE RICH IN..???
IF UKRAINE JOINS NATO… it means NATO & USA will have the benefits of …
(1) The largest deposits of URANIUM & possibly man-made Plutonium…!
(2) UKRAINE is also rich with Rare Earth minerals….!
(3) UKRAINE scientist in many areas of Physics…!
(4) Oil & Gas…!
(5) The 5000 + nuclear arsenal’s inherited ftom the Soviet Union…,; making them the 3rd country in terms of nuclear arsenal’s..!
There is no way on God’s blue planet that Russia is going to allow such an alliance to be realised….!
The Government of UKRAINE should have known this before deciding to join NATO’..!
NOW, there will never be peace again in UKRAINE…!
There will always be the presence of Russian backed rebels in Ukraine…!
The only way that the people of UKRAINE can live in peace is to negotiate terns with RUSSIA…!
UKRAINE can be a sovereign country with strong alliance to Russia…!
Ukraine can agree to sell its sensitive minerals to both RUSSIA & NATO & the rest of the World …!
Russia obviously gets the bulk of it..!
Any Deeping ties with Europe will only come after that…!
Right now, it is important for UKRAINE to decide if they want peace or NOT..!
FOR NOW, UKRAINE should only talk to RUSSIA about its future and NO ONE ELSE…!
Russia is very wrong for this just leave ukraine alone
It doesn’t matter what people say but the truth is that Ukraine 🇺🇦 made a big mistake by carrying out disqualifying and discriminating policies against this section of its ethnic groups. Ukraine 🇺🇦 will never find peace and stability as a United country if it holds its grounds on sidelining this section of its ethnic groups period. Ukraine 🇺🇦 made another mistake on western advice by toppling the president who came from this ethnic group instead of just waiting till upcoming election and defeat him democratically like they did for previous presidents.
Russians are really something else no wonder even the empire fears them
Evil Putin must be destroyed! Free for all autonomous republics! 💪🏼
This story explains alot of problems? Eastern Europe has a far right problem . The Eastern European countries need to awake up to this because Russia is next door 🚪… ? Like having a match boxes 📦 nexts to a opening fire 🔥 this
UK has Army Airforce and Navy cadets. So no different.
Brain dead battalion full of children who are yet to experience life.
This is sick and wrong.
Remind me of Hitler’s youth or Putin’s youth. In year 2022, still brainwashing the simple minds.
Freaks
These young kids are getting indoctrinated with the fake imminent danger and/or superior mentality where much of the history is being used to brainwash them , and the need to fight in order to be safe from their enemy/ies ( unfortunately in this case they are brothers and sisters) from these old & perverted mind men. May God/Allah whatever your religion is bless all the people who love peace and prosperity and see their weapons as the only last tool in their arsenal not the first one.
“The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists.” – Winston Chruchill
@JL yes the state of the uk today is because of the socialism in the uk today. Socialism=facism. Nazi= national socialist of Germany. Kinda like the socialist in Russia today.
antifa ect
@Justin Lance UK literally governt by conservative, wtf r u talking about
@Justin Lance That’s a real low IQ boomer take mate. Fascism is the polar opposite of Marxism. Marxism is internationalism. Fascism is nationalism. You think Fascists believe in diversity and open borders? Stop trying to keep things in the safe centre because you fear real change. Wake up, look around you and realise you’ve been lied to.
@aria ciptawan kurds You’re a child if you think the UK’s political parties differ. They all serve the same masters.
Just like the good old days of the soviet union. Stay classy Russia.
Hitler Youth.
Little honey badgers. 😀😃
I get why Russians are hypervigilent…Stalingrad is a 3 hour drive from Ukraine……
No War but the Class War!
this is a slavic affair and the west should stay out of it.
In America, our teens need safe spaces because words hurt.
Hitlerugend. Shame on russia for involving kids into a war. Morons.
So those Ukrainians citizens want theirs Country to be invade by a foreign Country??? What a bunch of cowards losers.
Yes fighting facism. Exept facist were socialist just like russia.
Why not show the ukrainian side ??
It’s so sad how some people are deluding their youth to be tools of political vested interests.
Little Bless
Isn’t it amazing that we can teach our youth to train vigorously to be indoctrinated into militancy but not armies of youth to turn the earth into paradise.
Each side has their own view of things and think their side is right but training kids like that is messed up and that looks like the Hitler Youth just a different century different conflict different countries
Godwin’s Law is so real. “as an online discussion grows longer (regardless of topic or scope), the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches 1.”
fascism
🦁💯🔥⚡
There weren’t any armed children until Russia came to our land.
Many thanks to all friends and supporters of Ukraine !
They should move to Russia and leave the Ukraine problem solved.
Respect to these young patriotic people !
Again the innocent will die for the fun of others
We hope no war war on good for nobody is good for people saleing wapan God bless all world Ameen
Ah, the mighty Putleryouth
Its all about Russia…Russia responsible for this.
The younger generation should be taught Taekwondo first.
They are just playing 😀
We love ❤ 😍 you Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤ we British stand 🧍♀️ by you .
But if a Muslim does that they are called terrorist
Ich glabe nicht ,dass ein Yukurean soldat nicht gegen Russland kämpfen kann.😫
The people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 should decide whether they go with European Union 🇪🇺 or Russia 🇷🇺. America and and Russia should accept their decision.
Wanna know what gonna happen? Read “NATO In The Balkans: Voices Of Opposition” by Ramsey Clark, Sean Gervasi, Sara Flounders and others(1998)
In a perfect situation both sides would agree to a fair and internationally supervised referendum but I doubt it can be agreed upon.
poor kids getting tricked to do the dirty work for the elites
as an iraqi american shia muslim i wouldn’t mind joining to fight in defense of these innocent young ones & others, women should never need to fight, plus we’re indebted to russia for fighting against terrorist groups in syria & also aiding iraq against isil
Russia is fighting for its survival Ukraine is just a proxy for the western aggression
These brave men and women are the victims of the paranoia of the Kremlin and NATO
What you see here … ladies and gentlemen is BRAINWASHING 101 … and taking the future potential of this kids away ! …. mostly that’s what communism does.
Propaganda
Ukraine is more democratic than the russian totalitarian state, and yet, they are the fascists
Dictatorship at its finest
Stupid ukraine fooled by nato to goes into war … that only make war profiteering. Stop dreaming to became nato member …
In that case they should fight against Putin haha.
they are in war because of their stupid leaders.
Fashist state is fighting against fashism, funny
Brainwashed to fight fascism while potentially becoming cannon fodder for the real fascists.
