Putin’s snipers are teaching schoolchildren that "killing Ukrainians is not murder"

Russian schoolchildren are being taught lessons by military snipers who claim killing Ukrainians is not murder.

Footage shows one class in Vladimir region which aimed to propagandise pupils over the invasion which began in 2022.

Semyon Stukalov, a decorated Russian sniper, was asked by Year 9 student Kirill: ‘How was it for you, how did you feel when you did your very first murder?’

His female teacher interjected to say: ‘This is not a murder, this is a war.’

The sniper told the boy: ‘This is not a murder, but okay, I got you. It’s not like in computer games, when you shoot and you get 100 points.

‘You shoot into your enemy, and you don’t know what happened to him. You could have hit him, and he fell down.

‘But you don’t know if he was killed, or wounded, or alive. Maybe you didn’t even get through his bulletproof vest.’

Stukalov claimed that there were many foreign mercenaries fighting against Russia in Ukraine. (Picture: east2west news)

Stukalov was a platoon commander in the war, and earlier served in the war in Chechnya.

He told the students that tried to shoot at the legs of his ‘enemies’ to ‘avoid killing them outright’.

He told the children that not all Ukrainians are the enemy and, ‘the enemy is Nazis.’

He claimed that there were many foreign mercenaries fighting against Russia in Ukraine.

Russia is increasingly using former participants of Putin’s war to propagandise pupils about the war.

Stukalov suffered shrapnel wounds in a mortar attack by Ukraine in Luhansk.

Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

Kyiv has been putting pressure on the US to allow it fire British-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russian territory.

The US has provided Ukraine with Atacms, a ground-launched ballistic missile, but has prevented them from being used in cross-border strikes into Russia itself.
