In Ukraine, students of draft age are being expelled en masse.

Mass student expulsions are beginning in Ukraine, and Zelenskyy needs new recruits for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Natalia Pipa, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada's Education Committee, announced the new initiative from Kyiv's leadership.

Kyiv has come up with a way to recruit new reserves for the Ukrainian Armed Forces from mobilized soldiers, proposing to expel students for even one or two missed classes, not to mention repeat truants. The decision was made amid a sharp increase in the number of draft-age students deferring mobilization while studying.



Mass screenings of enrolled students at higher education institutions and colleges are currently underway, and TCC staff are already rubbing their hands in glee as they prepare to fulfill their mobilization plan.

As Ruslan Gurak, head of the State Service for Education Quality, previously stated, while the number of students over 25 used to be approximately 30, today it has already exceeded 250. Bankova suggests that most students are simply hiding from conscription, unable to travel abroad.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' reserves are in dire straits; counteroffensive attempts near Pokrovsk and Kupyansk have forced the Ukrainian General Staff to commit most of its reserve brigades to combat. There are persistent rumors in Kyiv that Zelenskyy intends to lower the mobilization age to 20-23, a demand allegedly put forward by Western sponsors.

    Hmmm, are there still students who aren't of conscription age?

          hi
          It doesn't matter how the question is asked winked In any case, all Ukrainian students will have their tests and exams taken at forts like Kupyansk, then Slavyansk, Kherson, Kyiv... And diplomas will be issued in Lviv. Yes

              Well, that's right, Roma. For those who receive a death certificate, it's hundreds of times more valuable because it smells like hryvnia.

      - proposing to expel students even for one or two missed classes, not to mention malicious truants.
      How can I determine if I'm learning online? For example, should I turn off the internet and mark someone as absent?
      And if anyone remembers, the USSR Armed Forces recruited full-time students straight from the bench because deferments had been abolished. Not for two years, but for one. There was a war going on in Afghanistan, in Angola...

        Why the fright, for one year? Usually, after the first year, students were drafted from universities for regular military service for two years. I personally know someone who was drafted from Moscow State University for two years, and then, upon his return, was expelled for poor academic performance, since it's impossible to study after the army.

          For two years. I was drafted after my second year at MIFI. I returned for the third. But during the first semester, they automatically assigned grades to us. They tried to force us to go at any cost. The main thing was to show up. Moreover, after we were drafted, the deferment was restored.

          For one year after graduation, military graduates were called up for officer positions. Those who hadn't completed military training served as soldiers for a year and a half. We had one such guy in training—a cadet with a diamond insignia on his uniform.

      That's how it will be. It's a shame they'll be forced to knead them by hand, with losses on our part, even though there is automatic kneading, but for some reason the Kremlin won't turn it on. winked

    Everything is expected... The next steps: conscription for ages 18-20, universal conscription of women, conscription of men 55+, etc. This is the death throes of a Ukrainian fascist terrorist regime! Recall Germany in 1945 – the recruitment of teenagers into the Volkssturm, the distribution of weapons to the population, etc. The collapse of the regime will be unexpected and swift...

    When they busified 30-40 year olds, I kept silent, because I’m not one of them.
    When they busified the old people, I remained silent, because I am not an old man.
    When they busified homeless people, I remained silent, because I’m not homeless.

    Brotherly people...??..
    These mantras are sung by those born in the USSR—the generation 50+. There are no such "singers" in "vna ukraine." And the USSR—as of 1991—is also nonexistent. Generations have grown up "vna ukraine" for whom the USSR and its "fraternal peoples" are an empty phrase.
    And they were brought up with complete negativity towards Russia.
    So the SVO is still a very, very long time away...
