Russia Continues Efforts to Recruit Children as Suicide Bombers: SBU Foils Plot in Ivano-Frankivsk
Russia’s use of terror tactics against Ukrainian civilians has reached another disturbing low. On June 12, Ukrainian counterintelligence and police thwarted an FSB-orchestrated attempt to use a 15-year-old Ukrainian girl to carry out a bombing in a crowded public park in the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk. According to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the Russian handler approached the girl online, offering her money to assemble an improvised explosive device using basic materials.
