According to her, most of all it goes to soldiers who undergo compulsory military service in Western Ukraine: “For example, a unit in the village of Starychi, Lviv region. There are 12 Crimeans serving there, in a unit in Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk region, in the Desna training center, and even in the Lugansk region, the guys are bullied simply because they are Crimeans.”
According to Finenko, about a thousand conscripts from Crimea and Sevastopol are currently serving in Ukraine: 768 conscripts and 220 military cadets.
By the end of April, the Ukrainian authorities promised to return them to Crimea. The corresponding decree was signed by the acting. President of Ukraine Alexander Turchynov.
