The director of the organisation, Oleksandr Zaitsev, is personally in charge of opening the special training centre "Warrior" in temporarily occupied Luhansk. Russian State Duma deputy Viktor Vodolatskyy is said to be responsible for this direction.

The organisation is already fulfilling the tasks of the Ministry of Defence in recruiting and preparing young people for further service in the Russian army," the CNS said.

According to the plan, the Russians will send children from 14 years old to such training. And from the age of 16 - will be prepared for mobilisation.
