The residents of temporarily occupied Crimea continue to tirelessly resist the Russian occupiers every day, demonstrating their indomitable spirit and trust in Ukraine. We continue to inform our readers about public sentiment among Crimean residents in our regular column #resistance_movement. 

• A resident of Yalta posted comments on social networks opposing the occupiers. The Russians detained the woman and sent the case file to the occupation “court.”
• A resident of Crimea contacted the Ukrainian military and reported his willingness to participate in military operations against the Russian army. The occupiers detained the man and sent the materials to the occupation “court.”
• The Crimean resident passed information to the relevant Ukrainian services about the location of the occupiers’ units in Crimea and Sevastopol. The occupiers detained the man and opened a criminal case against him.
• The Crimean resident supported the Mejlis and Ukraine and protested against the occupation on social media. The occupiers detained the man and forced him to apologize on camera.
• The father of an athlete from Yalta demonstratively did not stand up during the performance of the Russian anthem at a tournament in Simferopol. For this, the occupiers are persecuting the man and his son.
• The activists of the ATESH resistance movement discovered the location of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate and the occupiers’ training center in Sevastopol, distributed their leaflets in the city, and continued to monitor the construction of fortifications in Yevpatoriia.
• Activists of the Yellow Ribbon movement continue to resist the occupiers in Crimea, destroying copies of propaganda materials and distributing patriotic symbols in the occupied cities on the peninsula, particularly in Yalta, Simferopol, Sevastopol, Alushta, Yevpatoriia, and Koktebel. The latest campaign to distribute symbols was dedicated to the Day of Ukrainian Statehood.
• Activists of the Crimean Combat Seagulls continue to expose the personal data of collaborators and Russian war criminals in occupied Crimea.
• The Zla Mavka resistance movement continues to publish its diaries, distribute a weekly newspaper revealing the occupiers’ crimes, and distribute Ukrainian symbols. 

New illegal administrative proceedings in the occupation courts of Crimea under the article on the so-called “discrediting the Russian Armed Forces” also testify to the growing resistance. As of July 4, 2024, there were 847 cases of materials drawn up under Art. 20.3.3 of the Russian Federation Administrative Code recorded in the so-called “courts” in the temporarily occupied Crimea and other competent authorities. In 755 of these cases, a decision was made to impose an administrative penalty in the form of a fine or to join the case to another case under another article and make a cumulative decision. In 10 cases, the “judges” still consider the decision. Based on gender, Russians issued 309 (41%) decisions against women and 446 (59%) against men in Crimea. In total, the aggregate amount of fines imposed has already amounted to at least 23.7 million Russian rubles.

We thank everyone for their courage and clear public stance. Crimea is Ukraine, and we are fighting together to return the Crimean Peninsula to Ukrainian control as soon as possible and to bring a sense of security to our citizens from the temporarily occupied territories.

Glory to Ukraine!
