russian occupation is not peace.
On Nov. 12, 2025, pro-Ukrainian Crimean resident Marina Ryff went to migration services in Gurzuf to extend her Ukrainian residency. She had refused a russian passport.
FSB agents forced her to unlock her phone, accessed her Facebook account, saw a Ukrainian flag and posts supporting Ukraine's military, then fabricated charges: “discrediting the army,” “extremist symbols,” and hooliganism.
She was sentenced in absentia to 14 days of administrative arrest — and then she vanished.
Six months later, there has been no contact, no confirmed location, and no access to a lawyer.
This is a well-known russian tactic: use minor administrative charges to abduct people, isolate them, and later accuse them of treason.
When people talk about “peace” under russian occupation, remember Marina Ryff.
She disappeared simply for refusing to stop being Ukrainian. That's what russian occupation means.
@MiPalko@MooreIAm@Euan_MacDonald That many Ukrainians speak Russian in no way disproves the claim that Russia is trying to erase Ukrainian culture, it merely shows how long it has been going on.
@BanderiteAzov@nick_matau Not going to happen until Netanyahu is gone. Which may be soon, thankfully. There is a certain type of person who will collaborate with Putin even while Putin helps his enemies and Netanyahu fits that to a T.
@NikoOneTwo@frommontenegro@nick_matau Independent estimates range from 70-100,000 civilian deaths in Mariupol. Since Russia currently controls Mariupol, there is no way to get exact numbers.
