In brief
Ukrainian lawmaker Mariana Bezuhla says every schoolchild should learn to operate a drone as part of preparing society for prolonged war. She also argues that the skills will have civilian uses.
Mariana Bezuhla called for drone training for every schoolchild in an interview with RBC-Ukraine conducted by Volodymyr Kurennyi for its “Do Not Interrupt!” project. She presented the proposal as part of a broader change in Ukraine’s approach to military preparedness.
Bezuhla advocated militarisation in schools, citing Israel’s experience as a model for the approach she favours. She said society needed to prepare for a prolonged war and argued that learning to operate drones should be part of state policy.
She predicted that drones would also have uses beyond warfare, mentioning ground robots and field deliveries. These were her expectations about future technology use.
The RBC-Ukraine interview did not report the adoption of a school programme or specify an implementation timetable or funding.
