Russians keep thousand children in Kreminna as "human shields" - Regional Military Administration

The russian invaders are refusing to evacuate children from the front-line Kreminna, which is in the Luhansk Region, using minors to cover their military positions. This was reported by the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Oleksii Kharchenko, on his Telegram channel.

The head of the Regional Military Administration stressed that the occupation authorities of the city are blocking any possibility of transporting minors to safer regions.

"The occupation authorities of Kreminna refuse to take children out of the front-line city. It is not only about evacuation, but also about summer health improvement. About a thousand girls and boys who remain in the district are used by the invaders as a "human shield" with which they cover up the criminal actions of the russian army," Kharchenko said.

In parallel, the personnel shortage is rapidly worsening in the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk Region. The invaders are unable to cover the shortage of specialists even with the help of russian financial support programs or the provision of benefits. The indicators of the so-called "all-russian job fair" in the occupied Luhansk Region turned out to be a failure. Out of three thousand eight hundred and fifty vacancies offered, the invaders managed to attract only forty-six people, which is a little more than one percent.

The head of the administration summarized that almost ninety-nine percent of the vacant jobs have not received any offers from people.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the occupation administration of Luhansk has announced a large-scale "inventory" of housing. According to the so-called mayor of the city, Yana Pashchenko, more than 7,900 apartments allegedly "show signs of ownerless property." Proponents justify this with "security concerns," claiming that empty apartments threaten neighbors with fires and floods.
