With the ax
State Duma is busy. It wants to send schoolchildren to felling trees during the summer holidays, and to bomb NATO airfields if F-16 take off to Ukraine.

The Z-regime plan to allow students to be hired for especially dangerous work during the summer holidays, including work at height, in confined spaces and in contaminated areas, with poisons and electric current, as well as felling wood, moving heavy loads, etc. as such enterprises are "in desperate need of personnel."

Allegedly minors are equally desperate asking for the ban to be lifted. Deputies believe that to be "an important career guidance task" noting that otherwise such enterprises will begin to lose personnel, since students cannot practice in their profession due to restrictions.

The Federation of Trade Unions of Tatarstan and a number of universities of the republic warned against such changes, noting that working in harmful conditions will increase the number of disabled people among young people and reduce the birth rate.

Putin ordered last year the lifting of restrictions on child work from the age of 14 to cope with a shortage of workers in the economy, which the authorities estimate to be in the hundreds of thousands. The shortage of personnel has worsened due to the war, mobilization, the mass exodus of Russians, as well as an increase in the number of employees of military factories.

A new red line has been drawn. While russia threatens to attack F-16 fighters and airfields based outside Ukraine "as a legitimate target for the russian army" if they participate in sorties, they stressed that there will be no claims to the "former partners" if the fighters stand at western airfields, as in storage, from where they will then be transported to Ukraine, where they will be maintained, after which they will begin to fly from Ukrainian airfields.

"But if they take off from the airfields of some country, enter the airspace of Ukraine, launch missiles and return there, then this is a legitimate target. As for the possibility to shoot down, we can shoot down anyone and anywhere," the head of the State Duma's defense committee, Andrei Kartapolov said.
