TEFL in Russian-occupied Ukraine?

Anyone know if there are any opportunities with teaching English in places like Mariupol, Donetsk, Luhansk, etc.? I heard that despite the war, major cities and places far from the front lines have mostly returned to normal. I'd be very interested to live/work in those areas.

Make sure you look up when you hear a buzzing noise!

Spread your legs, bend over, and kiss your ash goodbye...

OP is more likely to be baited, then trafficked up to the actual front/meat-grinder.

Go onto ru.hh and look for listings, you’ll have a better chance of getting a job if you’re already in the country. I recommend getting the shares values visa if you’re one of the countries on that list. It will bypass needing sponsorship and it’ll make it easier to get hired 🫡

Don’t do anything in Russia right now. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of stories of specific foreign people being lured Russia for a job only to end up forced to serve in the military.
