Russians opened a branch of a naval school in Mariupol

According to journalists of Kremlin-controlled TV channels, the fifth branch of the Russian Nakhimov Naval School was opened in occupied Mariupol, following branches in Vladivostok, Murmansk, Kaliningrad in Russia and Sevastopol in occupied Crimea.

The new 560-seat school, which was said to have been built at a blistering pace in less than a year, enrolled 240 students of grades 5-7 from the occupied Ukrainian territories and different parts of Russia.

Russian Navy Commander Alexander Moiseev, who attended the opening of the Mariupol branch, under pressure from the Kremlin-controlled TV channels had to promise to station Russian Navy units at “our internal Azov Sea,” as Channel One called it.
