IDPs are ready to flee from the Kyiv-controlled Luhansk region back to the LPR
Teachers and students of the university, which “moved” from LPR-controlled Alchevsk, due to Kyiv’s disregarding policy, are forced to return to the “occupied” territories, since it is impossible to survive in the “liberated” ones.
Nikolai Fesenko, a representative of Lisichansk Donetsk State Technical University, stated this during the conference, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Employees of the clone of Donetsk State Technical University, located in Alchevsk (LPR), which Kyiv authorities opened in Ukrainian-controlled Lisichansk, are concerned that their “university” may cease to exist. The reason for this was the unilateral decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine to join DonSTU to the Severodonetsk clone of Lugansk University. Dalia.
“Our university has been displaced, and in the occupied territory there is a university that remains. It works, teachers work, students go to it, and, despite all the difficulties of life in the occupied territory, the university in Alchevsk continues to exist. But in Ukraine, a university is not needed, so it is being destroyed,” Fesenko said.
In his opinion, this will entail significant image losses both for Ukraine and for the region, which is “losing a powerful technical university.”
“I would like to note that 95 percent of the university’s employees are migrants from Alchevsk, who rent housing in Lisichansk, are in an extremely tight financial situation, and with the transfer of the university’s base to Severodonetsk, they will have additional financial problems associated with moving and finding housing. These problems have an extremely negative impact on many teachers, some of whom are forced to return to the occupied territory because it is impossible to survive in the liberated territory. The same applies to students, many of whom said that they would refuse to continue their studies and leave the liberated territory. This will also have an extremely negative impact on the image of state policy,” said Nikolai Fesenko.
