Quote: "The occupiers have seized the premises of Tavria State Agrotechnological University and Melitopol State Pedagogical University and established a fake university in Melitopol. Diplomas from this institution will not be recognised by any civilised country in the world."
Details: Tavria State Agrotechnological University and Melitopol State Pedagogical University have been reregistered in Zaporizhzhia. Fedorov reminded school-leavers from the occupied territories that they are granted "extraordinary conditions" for university admission. Specifically, they do not need to leave Melitopol and pass the External Independent Assessment. All they have to do to be admitted is register on the university's website and pass an oral interview.
