Volunteers of Russians in Crimea deliver 250 pieces of ammunition to the frontline

Two Crimean residents are suspected of systematically assisting the army of the aggressor country. They collected and handed over ammunition, equipment and humanitarian aid to the occupiers, and received rewards for this.

This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

The prosecutor's office served a notice of suspicion to two Ukrainian citizens who systematically assisted the armed forces of the aggressor country. Their actions are classified as aiding the aggressor state under Part 1 of Article 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for a sentence of up to 12 years in prison.

According to the investigation, one of the suspects organized a volunteer headquarters in Yalta in 2022. Together with her so-called volunteers, she collected and transferred 250 rounds of ammunition for small arms, components for FPV drones, a portable radio station, and parts for car repairs to the front.

To "publicize" her activities and attract the population of the peninsula, the woman actively covered her activities on social media.

Another suspect joined the Volunteers of Eastern Crimea association in February 2024, where he collected humanitarian aid and handed over thermal imagers, thermal overalls, camouflage nets and other equipment to the occupiers. He also personally repaired and re-equipped several vehicles for the needs of the Russian army. The suspects were repeatedly awarded for their systematic assistance to the enemy army.

In early September, law enforcement officers served a notice of suspicion on a Crimean woman suspected of aiding the aggressor state and transferring resources to the Russian military.

According to the investigation, Venera Duvalidis, a native of Simferopol, organized fundraising and material resources in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and transferred them directly to the locations of the Russian military. Between 2023 and 2025, Duvalidis handed over portable radios, a motorcycle, ammunition, drones, blankets, tactical stretchers, medicines and food to the occupiers.
