Ukraine’s army command prevents 1,500 servicemen from returning to Crimea

“They are now being brainwashed and forced to stay in Ukraine. But they have parents, women and children in Sevastopol. According to our information, about 90 percent of sailors on Ukrainian warships which were pulled out to Odessa want to return to Sevastopol and serve the people of Crimea,” the parents said, adding the commanders of Ukrainian warships were tearing letters of resignation, threatening their children with prosecution in case they tried to leave the place of service without permission.
