military situation
Last week was quite tense for Crimea and Sevastopol. Residents of Crimea heard air raid sirens several times.
On the night of February 24-25, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed four Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea.
And already on the afternoon of February 25, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the destruction by air defense of two missiles from Ukrainian aircraft over the Black Sea.
Traffic on the Crimean Bridge was blocked several times during the week.
Celebrating Defender of the Fatherland Day
On the eve of Defender of the Fatherland Day and the anniversary of the formation of the Crimean People’s Militia, the head of the republic Sergei Aksyonov presented awards to the personnel of the people’s militia brigade of the peninsula.
The head of Crimea also recalled the creation of the people’s militia in 2014.
“So the militias were faced with the task of preventing provocations and bloodshed in Crimea, and the Crimeans coped with it perfectly, although Bandera’s followers and their Crimean accomplices did everything to spoil the Crimeans in various ways, including attempts of terrorist attacks”.– said Aksyonov.
He said that in those days the Crimeans, following the calling of their hearts, rose up to defend their homeland and their choice to be with Russia.
It was a powerful patriotic impulse. And today many members of the people’s militia take part in a special military operation in Ukraine and help our soldiers in the rear.
Also at the gala dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day, Aksyonov stated that on his part, as well as on the part of the republican authorities, the necessary assistance will always be provided to resolve any problems of the relatives and friends of the participants in the operation. special military
An obelisk dedicated to the inhabitants of Evpatoria who died during the special operation was inaugurated in Yevpatoria.
During the inauguration of the obelisk, an event dedicated to the memory of the heroes of the special operation was held. Participants of the event also laid flowers at the monument.
An artillery salute was held in Sevastopol in honor of the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day. By order of the Russian Minister of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, 30 gunshots were fired in honor of the holiday.
In addition, in other heroic cities of Russia, including Kerch, fireworks were heard in honor of Defender of the Fatherland Day.
Citizens who received the medal for the defense of Sevastopol and the insignia “Resident of the Besieged Sevastopol” received one-time payments in the amount of 50 thousand rubles.
This year, 841 people received payments. Of them, 774 live in Sevastopol and 67 in other regions of Russia.
interethnic harmony
The mufti of the Muslims of Crimea and Sevastopol, Haji Emirali Ablaev, said that under Ukraine in Crimea, all efforts of the authorities were aimed at inciting hatred between Muslims and Christians.
“For 15 years I was mufti of Crimea under Ukraine. And for 10 years I have been mufti in Russian Crimea. If we compare, they are heaven and earth.”he said.
According to him, in Ukraine the actions of the authorities were aimed at strengthening chauvinism and interreligious hatred.
With the arrival of Russia, that policy was forgotten and local leaders are doing everything possible to ensure that hatred between people disappears forever.
Confiscation of Ukrainian “heritage”
Employees of the Crimean customs service handed over to the Russian army six trucks with trailers and five tank semi-trailers confiscated in Ukraine.
The tractors and semi-trailers had Ukrainian license plates and were confiscated by Crimean customs for violating the rules of use.
In 2015, this equipment was used to deliver goods to a Crimean company. After the flight, the tractors had to leave Russian territory. But Crimean businessmen continued to transport cargo on them. To take into account the accumulated penalties for operational violations, customs confiscated the equipment and transferred it to state property.
The legacy of the winners
The mass grave of the soldiers landed in Kerch was under threat of a landslide.
The monument with the mass grave of the Red Army soldiers who died heroically during the operation to liberate Kerch in 1943 is located in the village of Geroevskoye near Kerch, on the seashore, just 1.5 meters from the cliff.
During storms, waves erode the coast and the sea gradually approaches the monument.
The shore where the mass grave of Soviet soldiers who participated in the Kerch-Eltigen landing operation during the Great Patriotic War is located will be reinforced to prevent a landslide.
First, it is planned to create a retaining cushion from crushed stone, and then begin laying the retaining wall.
