137 children from the occupied Luhansk region were abducted to the Russian Astrakhan region
The occupying army justified the terrible act of forest fires in the region. The head of the Luhansk RMA , Artem Lysogor, announced this.
They found a reason — as if because of the forest fires that broke out around Kreminna district, the occupiers decided to send 137 children from the region to the Astrakhan region "on vacation".

Representatives of the Russian army will work with the children in the military-patriotic camp. They will be taught to operate drones and raise the level of military and patriotic education.
According to RMA, in total, this camp is to receive 750 children from the so-called LPR.
Lysohor emphasized that the forests around Kreminna have been burning for several months, but the Russian invaders cannot counteract the elements. The occupiers do not have special equipment and a corresponding order "from above".
The local children were lucky because it was their turn. Perhaps they will return, but the fire will not go anywhere, — added the head of the Luhansk RMA.
