This was reported by agents of the partisan movement Atesh among the cadets.

According to reports, these young officers, including foreign nationals, are sent to the front under the pretext of gaining "combat experience."

"At the final stage of training, cadets are deployed to Ukraine under the guise of acquiring 'combat experience,' where they operate chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) equipment amid active combat," the partisans explained.

The agents noted that foreign cadets of the academy do not stay behind the lines — they are sent to the front to gain combat experience, which they will likely apply in the national armies of their own countries.

Upon their return, they are expected to implement the knowledge gained in their respective national armed forces.

  • Russian forces on the streets of temporarily occupied Henichesk in the Kherson region are conducting mass raids on men to force them into joining the Russian army.
