The ongoing challenges in the occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas continue as residents face severe disruptions. Recently, the Russian administration began notifying Crimea's population about the shutdown of mobile internet connectivity, sparking significant concerns among locals. Meanwhile, Donetsk region's water supply remains critical, with services only available once every three days, affecting major areas such as Donetsk and Makiivka. In an emotional plea, children from the occupied Donbas have reached out to Russian President Vladimir Putin for water supply restoration. These developments highlight the growing humanitarian crisis under occupation. Furthermore, in Luhansk, local residents face housing evictions under newly imposed fake laws by the occupiers. These incidents underscore the pressing need for international attention on the situation in Crimea and Donbas.

What recent actions have been taken in occupied Crimea?

The Russian occupation administration in Crimea is planning a total shutdown of mobile internet services. This action is part of a broader effort to control information and communication within the region. Residents have been informed of these changes, raising concerns about further isolation and restrictions on freedom of speech in the occupied territories.

How is the water supply situation in Donetsk region?

In the occupied Donetsk region, the water supply situation is dire, with water being supplied only once every three days. This affects major areas such as Donetsk and Makiivka, leading to hardships for the residents. The limited availability of water highlights the severe infrastructural issues and the struggles faced by the local population under occupation.

What plea have children from Donbas made to Putin?

Children from the occupied Donbas have recorded a video message addressed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, pleading for the restoration of their water supply. The emotional appeal underscores the critical humanitarian needs and the dire living conditions under Russian occupation, as families struggle to access basic resources.

What housing issues are occurring in Luhansk?

In the occupied Luhansk region, Russian authorities have begun a widespread eviction of residents from their homes, citing a fraudulent "law" to justify these actions. The local population faces significant pressure, losing their residences amidst the occupation. This strategy aims to consolidate control over the region and intimidate any opposing voices.

What is the status of internet connectivity in Crimea?

The internet connectivity in Crimea is expected to face a complete shutdown as announced by the Russian administration. This move is likely an attempt to prevent the dissemination of information and restrict communication channels, further isolating the occupied territory's residents from the outside world.

How are inhabitants in Donetsk coping without water?

Residents of Donetsk are struggling with inadequate water supply as they receive water only every third day. This has necessitated rationing and reliance on alternative sources, placing a heavy burden on household management and contributing to worsening living conditions in the occupied region.

What consequences are Luhansk residents facing from housing evictions?

Residents evicted from their homes in occupied Luhansk face homelessness and instability, as the Russian administration enforces control using bogus legal grounds. This displacement not only affects physical residence but also incites fear and oppresses the region's community under occupation.

How do children in Donbas express their need for water?

In their video addressed to Putin, children in Donbas expressed desperation for basic necessities, asking the Russian President for water. Their discourse reflects the humanitarian crisis in the occupied area, highlighting the innocent victims caught in political turmoil and conflict.

What hardships do Crimea residents face with potential internet shutdown?

The potential internet shutdown in Crimea means residents will face increased isolation, inability to communicate effectively with the outside world, limited access to information, and a suppression of freedom, all contributing to the oppressive nature of the occupation.
