How the Russians terrorize the civilian population of Crimea
In Simferopol, the temporarily occupied Republic of Crimea, the Russian occupation authorities, fearing the activation of the pro-Ukrainian movement, the actions of patriotic cells, create the so-called “voluntary squads.” It is known that due to the war in Ukraine there is a certain shortage of law enforcement officers, therefore, in addition to patrolling the city, one of the tasks of the mentioned units should be to identify spotters and saboteurs.
Continuing the armed aggression, the Russian occupying army daily suffers significant losses in manpower. Earlier, we reported about overcrowded medical institutions in the temporarily occupied settlements of the Donetsk region. The trend has not disappeared – recently one of the hospitals in the city of Gorlovka received an order to increase beds for receiving wounded invaders.
Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian aviation has inflicted 14 strikes on the areas of concentration of personnel and military equipment of the occupiers, as well as 2 strikes on anti-aircraft missile systems in firing positions. Also, our defenders shot down an enemy Su-34 aircraft and 8 reconnaissance and strike UAVs of various types.
Missile troops and artillery units hit the command post, 3 enemy concentration areas, ammunition, 2 fuel and lubricants, as well as an enemy electronic warfare station.
