Activists of the Yellow Ribbon movement held rallies in Yalta, Sevastopol, Simferopol and Dzhankoy.
According to the Yellow Ribbon Movement, on the Day of Crimean Resistance, Ukrainian flags were also flown on the top of Pahkal Kai.
Where the occupiers are trying to erase the Ukrainian presence, where they are afraid of even the colors of freedom, the blue and yellow flag has reappeared.
Today Ukraine marks the anniversary of the Crimean resistance. 11 years ago, on February 26, 2014, thousands of people came to the walls of the Supreme Council of Crimea to defend the peninsula's right to remain part of Ukraine and to resist Russian separatism.

But soon the annexation began. It was followed by repression, persecution, and intimidation of those who did not accept the occupation.
However, the struggle has not stopped. Ukrainians in Crimea continue to resist - 11 years of steadfastness and faith in liberation.

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine appealed to the parliaments and governments of foreign countries, international organizations and their parliamentary assemblies on the anniversary of resistance to the occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol.
Over the 11 years of the annexation of Crimea, 385 people have been victims of criminal prosecution for political reasons. As of today, 240 of them are in detention.
Recently, in the occupied Crimea, Russian security forces conducted massive searches in the homes of Crimean Muslim Tatars. The raids took place in the villages of Dzhankoy and Kirov districts.
The occupants were Emir Kurtnezirov from the village of Lobanove. He is the son of political prisoner and Imam Remzi Kurtnezirov. The searches also took place in the houses of Rustem Mustafayev in the village of Istochne, Abibulla Smedlyayev in Novokrymske and Mirzaal Tajibayev in the village of Yarke Pole.
All four were detained by the FSB. Later, it became known about the fifth detainee - Bakhtiyar Ablaev from the village of Kovylne, Dzhankoy district.
In 2024, 61 searches were recorded in the occupied Crimea, of which 35 were conducted in the homes of Crimean Tatars.
