Repressions against local residents, including Crimean Tatars, continue in the occupied Crimea, and problems with infrastructure and basic needs are growing.
This was reported by the representative office of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, UNN reports.
Details
As of November 19, 218 people are illegally imprisoned in occupied Crimea, including 132 Crimean Tatars. Of these, 43 are under arrest (28 are Crimean Tatars), 151 are in prison (97 are Crimean Tatars), and 26 remain without a defined status (6 are Crimean Tatars).
There were 1047 cases of transfer of materials under Article 20.3.3 of the Administrative Code to the so-called “courts” in Crimea. In 928 cases, fines or decisions were issued or joined to other cases, and in 31 cases the proceedings are ongoing. At least 1408 Russian army soldiers stationed in occupied Crimea have been killed.
Of these, 914 were probably Ukrainian citizens. The actual number of casualties may be higher, as Russia conceals this data. It has also been confirmed that 67 soldiers of the occupation army were taken prisoner. Crimean residents complain about heating interruptions due to illegal spot construction in coastal cities and in Simferopol.
Accidents on heating mains, which have become more frequent since the start of the heating season on October 18, leave residents without heat. In Bilohirsk district, at least 20 settlements are facing water supply problems, which have become particularly acute after the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.
The rise in fuel prices is also causing outrage among local residents. The main reasons are the Ukrainian army's attacks on Russian oil depots and the occupiers' use of Crimea for military purposes.
Civil resistance:
In Feodosia, the occupiers detained Igor Tymchenko because of a tattoo with a Ukrainian trident. He was forced to apologize on video, an administrative report was drawn up, and the case was transferred to the so-called “court”.
In Simferopol, pensioner Victoria Golubeva received a fine of 40 thousand rubles for publishing criticism of Russia's pension reform and asking “Why do we need Crimea and Donbass at this price?
In Dzhankoy, Russian security forces beat blind Igor Nikitenko for criticizing the occupation administration. He was fined 10 thousand rubles.
Activists of the Yellow Ribbon Movement distributed more than 100 pro-Ukrainian leaflets in one day in Yalta, Simferopol and Sevastopol.
Activists of the Crimean Fighting Seagulls reported the collapse of a railway bridge in the village of Maslovo, Dzhankoy district, due to overloading with military equipment.
Meanwhile, activists of the “Zlaya Mavka” movement are distributing patriotic graffiti, leaflets and stickers, reminding that “Crimea is Ukraine.
