in the war against Ukraine, college graduates from the temporarily occupied Crimea. However, they will only be “cannon fodder”.

How the occupiers operate
According to Denisova, at the Sevastopol Shipbuilding College, at the “request” of the military commissar, the deadline for passing final exams was postponed to early June.
This was necessary in order to have time to call up graduates into the ranks of the Russian army. It should be noted that earlier, according to the schedule, the last day of exams was June 28.
A similar situation occurs in other educational institutions. In particular, in the Sevastopol Maritime College, the Sevastopol Professional Art College and the Sevastopol Industrial and Technological College named after Marshal of the Engineering Troops Gelovani.
These educational institutions also change the date of the last exam, – Denisova said.
The Commissioner has already applied to the UN Commission of Inquiry into human rights violations during the war in Ukraine with a request to take into account these war crimes.
Help. Forced mobilization in the territories temporarily occupied by Russia is a violation of the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. It strictly forbids an occupying state from forcing protected persons to serve in its military or auxiliaries. li> The invaders continue to forcibly deport the civilian population of Ukrainian cities to Russia. People are sent to depressed regions.
