More than 260 children in Ukraine have contacted law enforcement and helped prevent terrorist attacks they were being recruited to carry out, the National Police said. Andriy Nebytov, deputy head of the National Police and head of the Criminal Police Department, said children were among those targeted by Russian intelligence services looking for people to carry out sabotage and other attacks.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “Among those they tried to recruit are children. Already 260 children have contacted law enforcement and helped prevent terrorist attacks they were intended to be used for,” the police said, quoting Nebytov. Police urged people not to follow suspicious instructions from strangers, especially if they are being threatened or blackmailed. Anyone pressured into carrying out such tasks should contact law enforcement immediately. The National Police also described a scheme used by Russian representatives to influence people. The perpetrators call citizens who have previously purchased dietary supplements and pose as employees of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). Nebytov explained that during such conversations, a person may be groundlessly accused of financing Russian aggression. Recruiters then use psychological pressure and gradually push the victim into carrying out illegal tasks. Such actions may include photographing designated sites, setting fire to a servicemember’s car, and later attempting to commit a terrorist attack.
