🇺🇦 We remember the feat of the cadets who did not betray Ukraine during the annexation of Crimea. This heroic act demonstrates loyalty that was not broken by fear or pressure from the occupiers, — Commander of the Navy, Vice Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa

“On March 21, 2014, a solemn parade of traitors took place at the Pavel Nakhimov Naval Academy in Sevastopol, which was captured by the russians. On the same day, the cadets who remained faithful to the oath performed the National Anthem of Ukraine during the raising of the russian flag.

After the relocation of the educational institution, these cadets completed their studies at the Institute of Naval Forces of the National University “Odesa Maritime Academy”, became officers and now command ships, units and continue to repel the enemy. We were faithful then — we remain so today! Glory to 🇺🇦Ukraine!”
