Russian-separatists soldiers have using children for demining of minefields at Donbass

"Let someone of their soldiers would shoot in direction of their people, behind which we will put our soldiers, not in the front, but behind, and let they try to shoot their own people." - Vladimir Putin on using civilians as a "human shield" at Donbass (04.03.2014)

Terrorists of joint Russian-separatist forces have using children for mine clearance and demining operations at Donbass.

April 29, four teenagers 16 years old were detained by one of the intelligence groups of the 24th assault battalion of the Armed Forces "Aydar" during mine clearance at the outskirts of the Ukrainian checkpoint near the dam of Shastia village (Luhansk region).

Ukrainian soldiers have carried a preventive conversation with teenagers. Boys have told that the terrorists promised to pay them 300 UAH (15 $) for a "clearance operation" at the Ukrainian checkpoint.

Then the teens families were called for interrogation. The conversation revealed that the families didn't even know about a job their children have found. Anyway, this is not the first case of using a children's work for demining operations by Donbass terrorists. 

It is noteworthy that the pro-Russian forces observation post located near the Vesela Gora village, not so far from "diversion" area, we can assume that fighters could coordinate the actions of young rappers from that point.
