A ban on all types of hunting within a one-kilometer radius around the Tavriya thermal power plant has been temporarily imposed in the Dobrovsky hunting grounds of Simferopol district. The relevant document was signed by the "head of Crimea" appointed by the occupation authorities, Sergey Aksyonov.

This was reported by Krym.Realii.

Occupation "head of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov signed a document stating that starting from November 3, 2025, a temporary restriction on all types of hunting in the publicly accessible Dobrovsky hunting grounds of the Simferopol district of the Republic of Crimea in the zone (radius) of one kilometer adjacent to the Simferopol CCGT (Tavriya TPP) will be introduced.

The temporary restriction will remain in effect until further notice. Earlier, Aksyonov issued a decree restricting the movement of electric and hybrid cars across the Kerch Bridge.

Earlier, the occupation "Sevastopol City Court" decided to increase the term of imprisonment of Ksenia Svetlishina, a member of the"Yellow Ribbon" movement, adding eight years to her previous sentence.

This decision was part of a concerted campaign by the Russian authorities to revise the initially "mild" article on "cooperation with a foreign state" to a more serious one, "high treason." Thus, the total sentence for the activist convicted of pro-Ukrainian activities amounted to 13 years and 3 months in prison.

Russian judge Danil Zemlyukov, whom they call "imported from the swamps of Altai," "corrected the mistake" and "added" an additional 8 years to the sentence. Human rights activists emphasize that the proof of Svetlishina's guilt raises serious doubts: all court hearings were held in closed session, and information about the case is not even properly published on the court's website.
