Students of Sverdlovsk universities are refusing to join unmanned troops.

— More students are coming from vocational education, while university students are still thinking. There is an internal barrier — the guys are 18, and there is another barrier — parents, said Dmitry Demenkov, head of the military service selection point in Yekaterinburg, during the "OTV" broadcast.
Recall that messages calling to enlist in the service have appeared on the websites of UrFU, UGGU, UrGYU, and UGLTU, and some universities have also held in-person meetings with students.
