Members of the Yellow Ribbon in Crimea held another action of resistance

(Yellow ribbon)

"I am disgusted by the tricolor," said the members of the resistance movement in the annexed Crimea and held another action.

The protesters wrote about this on their page on the TG channel.

Resistance for Ukrainians under occupation is a way to declare their position, not to lose faith, to know that they are not alone, and that de-occupation will definitely come.
After all, Crimea is Ukraine!" the message reads.

According to the patriots, the community in Crimea is one of the most active, especially in Simferopol, Yalta, Yevpatoria and Feodosia, and recently residents of smaller towns such as Simeiz and Balaklava have joined them.

In Simferopol, Yalta, and Dzhankoy, activists have distributed pro-Ukrainian posters and other symbols of Ukrainian resistance.

In Crimea, residents publicly demonstrate their resistance to the occupation by sharing photos of themselves with their desecrated Russian passports. Despite years of forced passportization, people are reminding: Crimea is Ukraine, and the struggle continues. On the temporarily occupied peninsula, Crimean residents continue to show quiet resistance, including by devaluing the imposed Russian passports. In the cities of Akyara (Sevastopol), Akmesdzhita (Simferopol), Yalta, Alushta, Bakhchisarai and other settlements, Crimeans are sending photos in large numbers in which they demonstratively despise these documents.

The overwhelming majority of local judges and court administrators have left or refused to cooperate, and the occupiers are sending judges from Dagestan and the occupied communities of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts on a rotating basis to replace them.

Only a few judges from the Kherson region have agreed to cooperate with the occupation administration.
