Yellow Ribbon Movement Activists Rally for Resistance in Crimea

Recently, activists of the Yellow Ribbon movement held resistance actions in several cities of the occupied Crimea.

According to the movement's members, pro-Ukrainian rallies were held in one of Simferopol's largest parks, Salgirka, as well as at the entrance to Bakhchisarai and on the outskirts of Feodosia.

"Activists distributed relevant graffiti, posters and stickers there," the movement said in a statement.

They note that anyone can join the resistance movement by simply attaching a yellow ribbon in their temporarily occupied city and drawing graffiti symbolizing resistance.

Earlier, activists ofthe Yellow Ribbon movement destroyed copies of propaganda materials and distributed patriotic symbols in the occupied cities on the peninsula. Patriotic posters and yellow ribbons appeared in Simferopol, Yalta, Alushta, Sevastopol, Yevpatoriya and other cities of the occupied peninsula. And activists of the Crimean Fighting Seagulls have been exposing the personal data of collaborators and Russian war criminals on the occupied peninsula. The "Zlaya Mavka" resistance movement publishes a weekly magazine that reveals the crimes of the occupiers.

In addition, activists of theATES movement created a cyber unit to counter Russian propaganda online, attack the enemy's information infrastructure, and collect information about the occupiers, traitors, and collaborators. They also placed anti-war and pro-Ukrainian leaflets in occupied Simferopol.

And in the temporarily occupied Skadovsk on the left bank of the Kherson region, activists left messages to the occupiers in rubles. On Russian banknotes of 100 and 500 rubles, they wrote "Down with the occupiers" and "Skadovsk is Ukraine", "I hate the occupiers, I hate Russia", "We continue to fight for Ukraine".
