Occupants appropriated Simeiz sanatorium in Crimea

Another sanatorium was seized in the annexed Crimea. It was transferred to the control of the so-called federal authorities.

This was reported by Krym. Realii.

The occupation authorities of the Russian Federation transferred the Simeiz sanatorium in Yalta to federal ownership. According to media reports, the relevant decision is enshrined in a decree of the Russian government signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The document states that the state budgetary institution of the Republic of Crimea, the Simeiz Clinical Specialized Sanatorium, will become federal property.

It also stipulates that the Russian Ministry of Justice, the Federal Agency for State Property Management (Rosimuschestvo) and the Crimean government must take all necessary measures within four months to formalize the transfer of property belonging to the sanatorium to federal ownership. It has been established that the Russian Ministry of Justice will become its founder.

As noted in the media, the Simeiz sanatorium is located in the city of Yalta on the southern coast of Crimea and is one of the most famous healthcare facilities on the peninsula. The transfer of the institution to federal ownership comes amidst the active strengthening of the Russian authorities' control over property in Crimea after its annexation.

Also, the Crimean sanatorium Sudak was transferred to the needs of the Russian army. Its infrastructure is gradually deteriorating, the premises and equipment are dilapidated, the territory is abandoned, and part of the facility is already being used by the occupants.

In addition, the Crimean Spring boarding house, formerly known as the Lviv Railwayman, was put up for sale in Sudak. The seller is an enterprise controlled by the Russian occupiers, and after 2014, the institution changed its name. In the first half of 2025, the occupation authorities of Crimea sold 25 nationalized objects at auctions, and the proceeds are allegedly used to develop the peninsula and support the participants in the war against Ukraine.
