Ukraine's Education and Science Ministry has revoked the licenses of higher education institutions located in temporarily occupied territory in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, according to the ministry's press service.
"After the annexation of Crimea and military aggression of the Russian Federation in the east of Ukraine in 2014, some higher education institutions have turned out to be in towns and cities where the [Ukrainian] government, particularly the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, cannot exercise powers for the time being," the report says.
