In the temporarily occupied Simferopol, the occupation authorities have tightened control over civilians under the guise of military "exercises".

This was reported by the National Resistance Center.

Gauleiter Aksyonov announced the next "exercises" with the participation of Bars-Crimea units, the Russian Ministry of Defense and other law enforcement agencies. Although these measures are formally explained by the need to counteract the "infiltration of sabotage groups," the very rhetoric of enhanced "inspection measures" suggests that under the guise of training, massive interference by security forces in the lives of civilians is being legalized.

The security forces have been instructed to check the documents, cell phones and contacts of residents, with special attention being paid to social media subscriptions, correspondence and family ties to Ukraine.

Earlier, in the temporarily occupied Yevpatoria, the Russian occupation authorities tightened control at the entrances and exits of the city. According to the guerrillas, the tightening of control in Yevpatoria is due to intensified checks at checkpoints. It is recorded that the security forces selectively stop cars and almost all buses, conducting a thorough inspection of trunks and personal belongings of passengers.

It is also noted that employees of the occupation administration are on duty at the checkpoints along with the Russian military. The activists urge residents to be as cautious as possible due to the operation of the checkpoints in an enhanced mode.

Earlier, the movement's partisans wrote that Sevastopol hospitals do not have enough places for patients with seasonal diseases.

Due to the growing number of patients with influenza and ARVI, civilian patients are more often denied hospitalization. In particular, the occupiers reserve places for the wounded Russian invaders and other persons associated with the administration of the Russian Federation.
