Russia recruits ignorant Ukrainian teenagers for (suicide) attacks: “Death for 1,000 dollars”

A telegram message, a promise of quickly making money and a simple assignment: a young Ukrainian travels to a city to pick up a bag for a ‘Grafitti promotion’ at a police station. What follows is not a innocent job, but a deadly trap – set up by Russian intelligence services that recruit teenagers as ignorant bombs and suicide bombs. The story of Oleh reads like a thriller, but is bitter reality in a shadow war that takes place far from the front.
