Near Artemovsk (Ukrainian name - Bakhmut) they noticed a Ukrainian child with a machine gun. The corresponding video was published by the Telegram channel Klymenko Time.

The footage shows a boy walking along the road carrying a weapon in his hands. When asked if he is going to war, the child replies that he is "already at war."

Earlier, the founder of the private military company Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to let “old men and children” leave Artemivsk, whom the group’s fighters began to increasingly see in the ranks of the Ukrainian forces.
