In particular, five to six powerful explosions were heard in Saky. Additional explosions were also reported in Saky and Yevpatoriia on March 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6 On March 13, it was confirmed that Crimean Tatar political prisoner Rustem Virati had died in a Russian penal colony. The occupiers arrested him in the spring of 2023 on fabricated charges.

He is now more than 12,500 kilometers away from Crimea. The transfer took over two months, and he was only able to contact his family in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6 Unlawfully sentenced 65-year-old Crimean Tatar Nasrulla Seidaliev is in critical condition in a penal colony in Minusinsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. Due to the worsening of chronic illnesses, he spent 21 days in a Krasnoyarsk hospital but did not receive proper medical treatment. As a result, his condition deteriorated significantly: his blood pressure spiked, swelling in his limbs worsened, and severe varicose disease made movement difficult. Despite his critical state, the colony administration refuses to provide him with necessary medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6 An occupation &#8220;court&#8221; sentenced Yalta resident Petro Zhytkyi to 24 years in prison on fabricated charges of allegedly &#8220;attempting&#8221; to assassinate collaborator Oleh Tsaryov.

Explosions occurred just before the arrival of a railway train carrying ammunition, significantly disrupting the occupiers&#8217; logistics. Additionally, agents detected the relocation of a Project 1124M <em>Albatros<\/em> small anti-submarine ship to Inkerman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6 The occupiers continue to use occupied Crimea as a military base and a launchpad for aggression against Ukraine, particularly by training foreign mercenaries.

The number of minors recruited into the Yunarmiya and similar organizations has already reached approximately 45,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6 In temporarily occupied Yevpatoriia, the occupiers staged another propaganda event called the &#8220;Victory Relay Race.&#8221; The event took place at the Red Hill memorial complex with the participation of representatives from the occupation administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6 Due to the negligence of the occupation administration, the energy crisis in Crimea continues to worsen. This week, nearly 7,500 residents of occupied Yalta and the village of Massandra were left without electricity. Despite this, the occupation administration is failing to take effective measures to address the problem, instead attempting to conceal the true scale of the energy collapse by insisting that the situation is &#8220;under control.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Civil Resistance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6 The occupiers detained a resident of Dzhankoi, accusing him of allegedly passing coordinates of military targets to Ukrainian intelligence services.

Through patriotic graffiti, leaflets, and stickers, they demonstrate the resilience of the Ukrainian spirit, dismantling the illusion of the occupiers&#8217; total control. Their activities focus on debunking Russian propaganda and drawing attention to human rights violations in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6 Members of the Crimean Combat Seagulls movement continue to gather and publish information about collaborators and Russian war criminals, helping to inform the public about the situation in occupied Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mission continues to receive inquiries from Ukrainian citizens who want to leave Crimea because they cannot tolerate the occupation and total propaganda.
