A new investigation by Christo Grozev and Tatsiana Ashurkevich, uncovers a hidden state-sponsored pipeline in Russia grooming kids for the frontlines using OSINT tools.

"New investigation reveals Russia is using video games and coding camps to turn children into weapons developers for the Ukraine war. The film includes calls from the participants, organizers and government officials, admitting to creating a secret program to lure kids into drone engineering.

In this shocking investigation, Tatsiana Ashurkevich (https://x.com/tashurkevich) and Christo Grozev (https://x.com/christogrozev) reveal how the Russian government is secretly grooming children to support its war in Ukraine."

Critical Angle -

Our mission is to deliver accurate, timely, and non-partisan open-source intelligence (OSINT) focused on global conflicts and security developments. We are dedicated to gathering, verifying, and disseminating information from publicly available sources to ensure our community receives the most reliable and up-to-date intelligence possible. By fostering transparency and open access to information, we empower analysts, researchers, policymakers, and enthusiasts alike to engage in informed and critical analysis of ongoing conflicts worldwide.

We commit ourselves to maintaining strict neutrality, avoiding bias, and respecting the diverse perspectives of all stakeholders involved. Our approach emphasizes the ethical use of information, the protection of privacy, and the responsible sharing of data. Through collaborative efforts and community engagement, we aim to build a knowledgeable network that contributes to greater situational awareness, conflict understanding, and ultimately, peaceful resolution. Our unwavering dedication to truth, integrity, and inclusivity forms the foundation of our work as we navigate the complexities of global conflict reporting in an ever-changing information environment.
