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 Sevastopol resident wrote comments with criticism of the occupiers on his social media page. The Russians detained a man, he faces a fine. 
• Two brothers from the village of Morske, the Feodosiia region, expressed waiting for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to come. The occupiers detained the brothers, arrested them for 15 days and placed them in a pre-detention isolator by the decision of the so-called “court”.
• On a beach, a resident of Sevastopol voiced patriotic slogans, including the motto “Glory to Ukraine, glory to heroes”. The occupiers detained the man, the so-called “court” found the man guilty. 
• A resident of the village of Lisne, the Feodosiia region, in his social media, voiced his support of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people and expressed his waiting for The Ukrainian Armed Forces to come. The occupiers detained the man.
• The activists of the ATESH resistance movement reconnoitered the military facilities in Sevastopol and location of the occupiers’ military vehicles on the railway station in Yevpatoriia. 
• The activists of the Yellow Ribbon movement continue to resist the occupiers in Crimea destroying copies of the Russian propaganda materials and distributing Ukrainian patriotic symbols in the cities on the peninsula, including in Alushta, Yalta, Simferopol, Sevastopol, and the village of Kolchuhyne. 
• The 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 and distribute the weekly newspaper revealing the occupiers’ crimes. The activists recently disseminated their 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!
