Steam released a Russian military tactics game called Squad 22 ZOV yesterday. The Russian army officially recommends the game for training new soldiers and cadets. Soldiers who fight against Ukraine helped make the game. The developers claim their game shows real history from 2014 and recent years. Players learn about events that changed people's lives during wartime.

Ukrainian officials already criticized the new video game as dangerous propaganda. The Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation says Russia uses the game to recruit young men for military service. They believe the game creates false hero stories about Russian fighters. Officials warn that Russia wants to prepare its people for long wars. The game tries to make war look good to Russian citizens.

Valve Corporation allowed the game on Steam despite these concerns. The company removed other controversial games recently but kept this one available. Valve has not explained why they approved Squad 22 ZOV for sale. The game remains on Steam for anyone to purchase and download.
