At dawn on August 24, the 34th Independence Day of Ukraine, activists unfurled the Ukrainian flag on Mount Kishka in the village of Simeiz.

This was reported by the Yellow Ribbon resistance movement.

"Every dawn reminds us that the darkness is not eternal and the morning without the occupiers will definitely come," the activists wrote.

In particular, the Yellow Ribbon launched the website 24independence.day, where anyone can congratulate the residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine on Independence Day and vice versa - a resident of the TOT can send words of support to the whole of Ukraine.

Yesterday, the movement announced that it will hold the largest resistance action on Independence Day in all cities of the TOT of Ukraine.

"You will see photos from our people who do not give up, do not panic and remind the occupiers every day that Ukraine's borders are 603.7 thousand km2."
