Solutions to win: Yellow Ribbon activists hold Ukraine’s Unity Day rally in Russian-occupied cities

On January 22, Unity Day, local symbols and various inscriptions appeared in temporarily occupied Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Melitopol, and other cities.

The Yellow Ribbon activists reported this.

"Today, on the Day of Unity, Ukrainian symbols reappeared in the occupied cities – Simferopol, Sevastopol, Yalta and Yevpatoria," the post noted.

Activists from the Yellow Ribbon movement are using every possible method to emphasize that Crimea was, is, and will always be Ukrainian. They employ paper flags, patches, stickers, and inscriptions to deliver this message.

"The action once again united hundreds of brave and strong people. We are the voice of millions of Ukrainians on the temporarily occupied territories. Despite the risks, we show that Ukraine is united even in the darkest times," the patriots emphasized.

Activists congratulated their native Ukraine on Unity Day.

"Crimea fights, waits and believes!" they summarized.

For reference:

The Yellow Ribbon is a public resistance movement in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, created in April 2022 after the Russian military invasion. The goal of the movement is informational resistance to the Russian occupiers.

The movement emerged in April 2022 in territories temporarily occupied by Russia. On April 25, its coordinators urged residents via Telegram to hang Ukrainian flags and display yellow ribbons on streets and in busy areas. That same day, yellow ribbons were seen in temporarily occupied Kherson.

On the Day of Unity of Ukraine, activists of the Yellow Ribbon movement also unfurled the Ukrainian flag on the top of Mount Pakhkal-Kaya in Crimea.

In addition, in November last year, a Ukrainian flag was raised in temporarily occupied Crimea, which activists unfurled on Mount Boyko to make everyone understand that the peninsula is Ukrainian land.

As Rubryka reported, by decree of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, February 26 was officially recognized as the Day of Resistance to the Occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.
