FSB officers in the annexed Crimea published a circulation of "branded" propaganda handbooks.

This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

"On the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea, Russians printed a special edition of a propaganda notebook with the emblem of the FSB, an armed "green man", a cat and a "happy" girl with flowers," the DIU said.

On the first pages, the FSB placed a directory with telephone codes, trade barcodes and other information about all countries of the world, except Ukraine, Ukrainian intelligence notes.

"The Crimean 'diary' of the Chekists is another evidence of the aggressor state's policy aimed at destroying all references to Ukraine in the occupied Ukrainian territories, and a sign of fear of the resistance movement on the peninsula," the DIU emphasized.

Earlier, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center said that after the detention of Ukrainian citizens suspected of being pro-Ukrainian or having ties to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they are tortured, interrogated, intimidated, and later forced to publicly apologize for far-fetched offenses.

"Usually, after brutal beatings or psychological pressure, Russian security forces demand that people apologize on camera for their 'disloyalty'. Such videos often appear in propaganda telegram channels or are used to intimidate other residents of the region," the CTRC said.

According to the Presidential Mission in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, as of November 4, the occupiers illegally imprisoned 218 people on the peninsula, 132 of whom are Crimean Tatars. Out of the total number, 43 are arrested (28 of them are Crimean Tatars), 151 are imprisoned (97 of them are Crimean Tatars), 26 are without status (6 of them are Crimean Tatars).
