This is the world\u2019s first manga about Crimea dedicated to the resistance of Ukrainian citizens under occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The team of the Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea \/ Crimea Platform Office worked on the project for over a year together with partners. The initiative was presented ahead of the Day of Resistance to the Occupation of Crimea as part of systemic efforts to draw the international community&#8217;s attention to the occupiers&#8217; crimes. It serves as a reminder that the occupation of Crimea in 2014 was a violation of international law, and that for 12 years Crimea has been fighting; Crimeans have not accepted the actions of the Russian occupation authorities but continue to resist and demonstrate their pro-Ukrainian stance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84977\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.50062003552636;width:510px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-5.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-5-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-5-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-5-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documentary graphic book was created in the style of Japanese manga as a token of gratitude to Japan, which has been helping during these difficult times of the war launched by Russia in 2014, including the occupation of Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;A Butterfly\u2019s Wingbeat&#8221; is a documentary story based on real events from the life of Crimean artist and activist Bohdan Ziza. Born and raised in Crimea, following Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion, he was unlawfully sentenced by an occupation &#8220;court&#8221; to 15 years of imprisonment on fabricated charges of alleged &#8220;terrorism&#8221; and &#8220;politically motivated vandalism&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening remarks were delivered by Olena Kovalska, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine; Andrii Shysholin, Vice Rector for International Relations at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute; and Takao Asamura, Head of the Cultural Section of the Embassy of Japan in Ukraine. The event was moderated by Nelia Hrynyshyn, Head of the Crimea Platform Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her address, Olena Kovalska emphasized the importance of intercultural interaction as a tool to advocate for Crimea, the release of political prisoners, and support for people resisting the occupation. In turn, Takao Asamura expressed respect for Ukrainians resisting Russian aggression and emphasized Japan&#8217;s support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine, including the Crimean Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"84980\" src=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-7-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84980\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5014895729890765;width:255px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-7-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-7-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-7.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"84986\" src=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-1-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84986\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5014975041597338;width:257px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-1.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"84983\" src=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-6-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84983\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5015128217846336;width:257px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-6-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-6-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-6-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-6.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event also featured a panel discussion titled &#8220;12 years of resistance to the occupation of Crimea: speaking out so that the world hears&#8221;.

During the discussion, participants emphasized that manga is not only an art form but also a means of conveying the truth about events in Crimea in 2014 and the situation of Crimean political prisoners, particularly through the story of Bohdan Ziza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The numbers show the scale of resistance by Ukrainian citizens in Crimea and how Russia is intensifying pressure and repression on the peninsula. There are currently more than 200 Crimean political prisoners. For me, Bohdan Ziza is definitely a symbol of the Ukrainian resistance in Crimea. His protest against the war in Ukraine and his struggle for Ukrainians there, for our citizens, continues even in captivity,&#8221; noted Olha Skrypnyk.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84992\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5006371591198708;width:461px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-3.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-3-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-3-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84989\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5006829564425557;width:464px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-4.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-4-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-4-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-12-at-18.39.05-4-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the discussion, Oleksandra Barkova noted that personal stories help the world better understand what is happening in occupied Crimea.
