Protests are ongoing outside Odesa Polytechnic over a sham postgraduate program for former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi
Students and veterans continue to protest outside the walls of Odesa Polytechnic. The cause of outrage is the use of the university as a hideout from mobilization for VIP draft-evaders.
The main face of the scandal is disgraced former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi. He, together with Odesa Deputy Mayor Pavlo Vugelman and other well-known officials, received postgraduate student status to obtain a deferment at the Odesa Territorial Recruitment Center.
Protesters have already delivered an official letter to the university administration and warn: actions outside Odesa Polytechnic will not subside, and the wave of protests will spread to other educational institutions across the country until corrupt schemes for deferments are completely eradicated.
