Main news of the week:
▶ On February 12, the Unmanned Systems Forces struck the “Gvardeysky” military airfield on the Crimean Peninsula.

▶ On February 14-15, the Defense Forces in Crimea struck a Russian BK-16 transport and landing craft, an RSP-10 radar station, and a “Pantsir-S1” anti-aircraft missile and gun system.

▶ The world’s first manga about the resistance to the occupation of Crimea was presented in Kyiv. The manga, “A Butterflyʼs Wingbeat,” is a documentary story based on the real-life events of Crimean artist and activist Bohdan Ziza. Born and raised in Crimea, he was illegally sentenced by an occupation court to 15 years in prison on fabricated charges of alleged “terrorism” and “politically motivated vandalism” after Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Invaders’ crimes:

▶ As of February 10, 284 individuals are subject to judicial persecution in occupied Crimea, 159 of whom are Crimean Tatars.

▶ As of February 11, 2026, 1,684 cases have been documented for drawing up reports under Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation concerning the so-called discrediting of the armed forces of the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea. In 1,547 cases, decisions have been made to impose fines or to consolidate cases with cumulative rulings. In 24 cases, proceedings are still ongoing. 53% of the rulings (819) involve women, while 47% (726) involve men.

▶ The family of Crimean Tatar political prisoner Yashar Muedinov has had no information about his whereabouts for almost three weeks. According to his wife, Naila Ibragimova, at the end of 2025 he was transferred from a colony in Koryazhma to a pre-trial detention center in Arkhangelsk. He was then supposed to be returned, but this did not happen. On January 22, Muedinov reported by phone that he was in Yaroslavl and was being prepared for further transfer to an unknown destination. The family has not yet received an official response from the penitentiary institutions.

▶ In temporarily occupied Crimea, Russian security forces conducted a search at the home of Crimean Tatar Nariman Seitaliev, after which they detained him and took him to an unknown location. According to relatives, during the search, the security forces did not allow them to contact a lawyer. The family reports that Seitaliev’s documents, mobile phone, and two books, which they claim were brought by the security forces themselves, were seized.

▶ In Russian correctional colony No. 4 in the Saratov region, Crimean political prisoner Rustem Murasov has been held in a punishment cell without heating for three weeks—the temperature in the cell does not exceed 9 degrees Celsius. It is also reported that the sewage system is faulty, forcing inmates to clear ice themselves. Due to his deteriorating health, Murasov spends most of his time lying on a metal bench; he has lost significant weight and is suffering from the cold.

Forcible conscription:

▶ At least 2,696 military personnel from Russian units stationed in Crimea have been killed. 1,431 of them are likely Ukrainian citizens.

▶ The capture of at least 125 Russian military personnel from Crimea has been confirmed. The majority are likely Ukrainian citizens.

Militarization of the Crimean Peninsula:

▶ Activists of the “ATESH” movement conducted detailed reconnaissance of the fuel and lubricants base of the 758th Material and Technical Support Center of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Simferopol. The facility plays a key role in supplying fuel for the occupiers’ military equipment in Crimea. The occupiers are attempting to create a logistics hub there to accumulate fuel reserves. Meanwhile, residents complain about the constant noise from trucks and the threat to their own safety, as the Russian command has cynically placed an explosive facility within the city limits, effectively using the civilian population as a human shield.

Propaganda of the occupying administrations and incitement to hostility:

▶ The occupying administration of Yalta, together with the “police,” is conducting raids to identify schoolchildren who are skipping classes. Representatives of the city’s “department of education,” the “Yalta Center for Social Services for Families,” and an “inspector for juvenile affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Yalta” are involved in the checks. If students who systematically miss lessons are identified, the information is recorded on a special form and forwarded to the “municipal commission for juvenile affairs.”

The Mission continues to receive inquiries from Ukrainian citizens who want to leave Crimea because they cannot tolerate the occupation and total propaganda. We remind you of our instructions on how to leave temporarily occupied Crimea: https://cutt.ly/FwtiajlS

We thank the aware Ukrainian citizens in occupied Crimea for their prompt reports on the situation on the Crimean Peninsula, in particular on the socio-economic situation, the positions of Russian troops, the resistance movements to the occupation, etc. For more information, please send an e-mail to the press service of the Mission:  [email protected].

Glory to Ukraine!
