Russia is shipping Ukrainian teens to Yelabuga to assemble military drones
Russia found a brand new demographic to fix its defense manufacturing shortage: abducted Ukrainian high schoolers.
High school students from occupied Lysychansk and Rubizhne are being packed up and sent to Tatarstan, straight to Yelabuga. If that town rings a bell, it is where Russia runs its massive assembly plant churning out Shahed attack drones.
The sales pitch to these kids is that they are going to 'become engineers.' In practice, Russia is using deported teenagers as factory hands to build the very weapons terrorizing their home country. Their families stay behind in the occupied ruins, and parents are reportedly allowed to visit exactly once — for graduation.
Deporting youth across borders to build strike drones is not vocational training; it is forced labor masquerading as education.
