Controversial billboards in Russian-occupied Melitopol. They advertise a children's military camp in North Korea
Vacation in North Korea? It doesn't sound too enticing, especially since the goal of the trip would be a military camp. But the Russian occupiers seem to have a different opinion on this matter. In Melitopol - a Ukrainian city occupied by Russians - billboards have appeared advertising a children's military camp in North Korea.

How do Russians imagine children's happiness? All you have to do is look at the billboards that have appeared in Melitopol to find out. We see on them children who are beaming with smiles. Only one of the boys is looking off into the distance with a rather serious expression on his face.
At first glance, one might think that it's an advertisement for an amusement park, or perhaps a language school. However, the truth is different... Propaganda billboards are meant to advertise a military camp for children.
In the temporarily occupied Ukrainian city of Melitopol, billboards advertising a children's military camp in North Korea have appeared — reported on the portal X (formerly Twitter) Anton Heraszczenko, advisor to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
We also see the flags of Russia and North Korea on the billboard. It is unclear who is the originator of the billboards, but we have to admit that the style of execution matches both of these countries.
We recently learned that North Korea has begun sending artillery to Russia, which is attacking Ukraine. It is unknown what North Korea is getting from Russia in return.
Russians in Melitopol
Melitopol is located in the southeastern part of Ukraine. Before the war, the city had approximately 150 thousand residents. It has been under Russian control since March 2022.
The occupiers realize that they are not welcome in the city. The city's residents remind them of this. Some are even telling the Russian soldiers that they ''will be destroyed when the Ukrainian army arrives''.
A few days ago, there was a loud buzz about 11 Russian soldiers who died after consuming moonshine, purchased from women in Melitopol. As it turned out, poison was added to the alcohol they served.
