Charitable foundations of the occupiers in Crimea have been sanctioned

Two Crimean charitable foundations were sanctioned by Ukraine for supporting the Russian occupiers. They acted in favor of the aggressor state and collected resources for the Russian military on the occupied peninsula.

The relevant decree was signed by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

These are the so-called charitable foundations "Humanitarian Front of Crimea" and "Crimea is Home" that support the Russian occupiers.

The sanctions were imposed on the basis of the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine of November 29, 2025 "On the Application of Personal Special Economic and Other Restrictive Measures". The document states that the restrictions apply to both individuals and legal entities involved in activities that assist the aggressor state.

Restrictions are applied against the so-called Russian charitable foundations and volunteer movements that support the Russian occupiers, the decree says.

The so-called Humanitarian Front of Crimea publicly reports in its Telegram channel that it helps the so-called "participants of the armed conflict". The head of the foundation , Anastasia Solodovnikova, was sentenced in absentia by a Ukrainian court to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property for aiding the aggressor state. The prosecutor's office proved that after the start of the full-scale invasion of Russia, she registered and headed the foundation, organized fundraising and material assistance for the Russian army, and published card details and addresses of collection points on social media. She was notified of the suspicion in February 2025.

The second fund, Crimea is Home, collects resources for the Russian military, which is located on the temporarily occupied peninsula and participates in hostilities against Ukraine. The foundation's activities are also published in the public domain via Telegram.

This is not the first package of sanctions against collaborators and structures of the occupation authorities in Crimea. In September 2025, Ukraine imposed sanctions against 66 individuals and 13 legal entities, including propagandists, collaborators and companies integrating the peninsula into the legal field of the Russian Federation. The list also includes the heads of the so-called ministries of the occupation authorities, representatives of the Russian judicial system involved in political persecution, and structures that support the Russian army.
