Crimean resistance movement holds pro-Ukrainian rally

The symbols of the Yellow Ribbon movement have once again appeared in the occupied Crimea.

This was reported by the Yellow Ribbon resistance movement.

Pro-Ukrainian ribbons, stickers and posters appeared in Simferopol, Sevastopol, Yalta, Feodosia and Yevpatoria. The symbols were placed at public transport stops, in parks, squares, near waterfronts and other crowded places. The movement emphasizes that such actions are evidence that local residents are waiting for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the de-occupation of the peninsula.

The Yellow Ribbon is a resistance movement of Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
The organizers note that the number of underground activists already reaches several thousand and is constantly growing. According to them, one of the most active centers operates in Crimea, in particular in Simferopol, Yalta, Yevpatoria, and Feodosia. Recently, residents of smaller settlements such as Simeiz and Balaklava have also joined the movement.

In the occupied Kherson region, newborns were left without tuberculosis vaccinations . BCG vaccination is a standard procedure in Ukraine, which newborns receive in the first hours of life. It is also included in the mandatory vaccination schedule in Russia, but hospitals in the occupied territories of Kherson region are not supplied with the vaccine. The absence of this vaccination increases the risk of children contracting severe forms of tuberculosis.

In the TOT of Kherson region, the enemy is preparing to transfer private homes of people who have left to communal ownership. According to activists, a commission has already been set up to make such decisions. "This is an outright theft of private property that people were forced to leave to save their lives. It is a new scheme for kickbacks, bribes, blackmail, and pressure," they emphasized.
