In some regions of Ukraine, the occupiers use children as spies and spotters of fire. This was reported by Ombudswoman Lyudmila Denisova.

She noted that these actions are a gross violation of Article 4 of the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflicts, which is prohibited from recruiting or using in hostilities persons under the age of 18.
