Russians actively looking for partisans in Crimea
The Russian invaders are intensifying counter-subversive measures in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, in particular in Crimea.

Quote: "There (in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea - ed.) Russian special services have been tasked with uncovering Ukrainian resistance networks. For this, selective searches will be conducted in the apartments and houses of Crimeans, with the emphasis being on representatives of the Crimean Tatar people."
Details: The NRC notes that the Russians are to check basements and garages, as well as telephones and computers, in order to find information that would indicate cooperation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As the Center states, such measures are related to the data received by the Kremlin from a closed sociological study on the socio-political situation on the peninsula. In particular, even those residents who previously supported the Russian Federation's large-scale invasion of Ukraine are now apathetic about supporting Moscow.
This also applies to those Russians who were resettled in Crimea during the 8 years of occupation.
"The Russian military-political leadership understands that Ukrainian partisans played an important role in the liberation of Kherson from Russian occupation forces. Therefore, they are trying to find new methods of combating the resistance movement," the NRC stated.
Background:
A "yellow terrorist threat level" has been introduced in temporarily occupied Crimea, although only in some areas of the peninsula.
