The Federation of Computer Sports of the Russian Federation is actively expanding its activity in the occupied territories of Ukraine to promote Kremlin propaganda among youth.
In the occupied regions of Ukraine, the Russian Federation Football Federation has opened its representative offices and is holding competitions. Representatives from occupied cities are also joining the Russian teams. During these events, messages about the "Russophobia" of those cyber athletes who call for a boycott of the Russian Federation are being spread.
In addition, a state program was launched for residents of the occupied territories who want to pursue a career in e-sports. In this way, Moscow wants to win the favor of young people in the TOT and give them the illusion of «broad prospects with Russia.».
In addition, the FCC lobbied for the introduction of lessons in designing and piloting drones in schools during the TOT, which is essentially training personnel to participate in the war against Ukraine.
The actions of the Russian Federation once again prove that sport for the aggressor state is one of the propaganda tools that requires proper assessment by the international community.
