(Strikes on Russian facilities in Crimea. COLLAGE: Crimea.Realities)
In the temporarily occupied Crimea, the occupation forces have stepped up repressive measures. After the recent successful strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the Russian invaders have launched large-scale 'raids' in Simferopol. The main purpose of these actions is to search for local residents whom the occupiers suspect of adjusting fire and helping the Ukrainian army.
This was reported in Telegram by the partisan movement ATESH.
"The Nazis are panicking in Crimea after the latest attacks by the Ukrainian Defense Forces. On January 20, the occupiers were particularly active in Simferopol - in search of 'gunners'," the message says.
According to the available information, the occupiers set up checkpoints on the ring roads, where the military, along with the police, carried out a total inspection of all vehicles. At the same time, a large-scale movement of enemy vehicles, including Russian Guard columns, was spotted in the region, and invaders' helicopters were constantly on duty in the sky.
Representatives of the guerrilla movement emphasize that such abnormal and panicked enemy activity is most likely a direct result of recent effective strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on strategic military facilities on the peninsula.
Earlier, the ATESh guerrilla movement wrote about the active setup of firing positions by Russian troops directly on the Tereshkova embankment in the temporarily occupied Yevpatoriya.
This location is one of the main walking areas of the city, but now new observation posts and firing points are being set up there. "Do the Nazis really believe in the Ukrainian landing force? Or is the occupation administration just wasting money once again?" - they noted.
