“We will be able to see the first batch of demobilized students at the beginning of next week,” he said in a video message.

According to Pushilin, the authorities will also need to resolve a whole range of issues related to academic leave of mobilizers and their return to the educational process.

Earlier, the Kremlin reported that Vladimir Putin ordered the demobilization of students from the DPR and LPR who were previously drafted.

The authorities of the LPR and the DPR signed the relevant decrees.

In addition, the head of the LPR, Leonid Pasechnik, ordered the commanders of formations and military units of the 2nd Army Corps to conclude contracts with those students who would like to continue their service, on the terms of providing students with academic leave.
