You don’t need advanced certification, you need the knowledge that would’ve granted you the certification. I doubt anyone was carrying any paperwork attesting to their actual skill levels.
I’m not a scuba diver, but could you simply mislabel your tanks as containing regular gases, but put the advanced stuff in instead? Would someone inspecting their gear sample the contents?
Honestly none of these hurdles seem particularly insurmountable.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if Ukraine didn’t have people on hand who could have developed the training for this operation. The Black Sea is relatively deep.
If this is government and not personal than you can put whatever label you want on it. However the danger is someone will believe the label and misfill your air and you may not realize this until too late.

The middle of the Black Sea is insanely deep
