Russians occupied her city when she was five. Now, they are turning her into a soldier.

Oleksandra Deminova from Russian-occupied Makiivka, Donetsk region, ended up in Russian Vladivostok, where she is being made a "cadet" in the militarized program of the "Warrior Center".

She is one of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children who have become participants in Russia’s propaganda programs. They are taught to operate drones, sent thousands of kilometers from home, and presented to Putin in military uniforms as a "successful project."

Yes, there is such a thing as militarised dolphins

Be afraid.

Until the introduction of modern machinery, animals played an often-decisive role in warfare. For instance, the Mongols' masterful use of horses allowed Genghis Khan and his generals to carve out the largest land empire ever known.

In the book Beasts of War: The Militarisation of Animals, author Jared Eglan curated amazing insights into how militaries have used a stunning menagerie of animals in combat. One of the more surprising animals that humans have managed to militarise are dolphins.

In 1960, the US Navy first began its studies on dolphins. At first, the studies were limited to testing how dolphins were so hydrodynamic, with efforts on applying the findings toward improving torpedo performance.
