Due to the detonation of the large Russian landing ship "Novocherkassk" in Feodosia by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the occupiers are conducting mass raids in Crimea, checking smartphones, and looking for gunners. Also, the head of the Russian Federation issued an order to punish Crimea's defense structure.

Repression unfolds in Crimea due to the destruction of the "Novocherkassk" ship

The Russians sent a large group of operatives to Feodosia to search for those responsible for blowing up the landing ship "Novocherkassk".

ATESH is informed about this on Telegram.

Agents of the military resistance movement of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars in the security forces say that operatives of the FSB, counter-intelligence, prosecutor's office and departmental commission were sent to Feodosia on the night of December 27. The heads of various structures from Moscow are also planning to arrive there.

At the same time, according to the information of the partisans, raids on residents were observed throughout the city yesterday. They check phones and search houses. In this way, the occupiers try to find the gunners.

Putin is furious because of the destruction of Novocherkassk. An order was issued to punish the air defense forces of Crimea. Many commanders are expected to be removed and sent to the front to participate in assault groups. In fact, they are getting rid of them, ATESH added.

The resistance movement clarifies that the Russians have problems detecting Western-made missiles. Commanders in air defense withhold this information and say there are no problems.

ATESH partisans predict that the investigation will affect every military person involved in the failed defense against missiles. They will probably be accused of sabotage.

Destruction of "Novocherkassk": what is known

On the night of December 26, the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed the Russian large landing ship, "Novocherkask", in Feodosia.

This was a continuation of a series of destructions of ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation by Ukraine, resulting in some of the boats being withdrawn from the bays of Crimea.

Around 3:00 a.m. on December 26, explosions rang out in the Feodosia region of occupied Crimea. It was reported that a ship allegedly carrying Iranian ammunition was blown up, and a fire broke out in the port.

The commander of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk, confirmed that Ukrainian defenders blew up the large Russian amphibious assault ship "Novocherkask" in occupied Feodosia.

Later, it became known that cruise missiles destroyed the “Novocherkassk" ship by Air Force tactical aviation.

The ship carried the Shahed kamikaze drones, which the Russian army uses for attacks on Ukrainian cities.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia reported that the "Novocherkassk" ship was damaged in Feodosia that night "during the repulse of an attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the use of air-guided missiles."

According to the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense, "During the anti-aircraft battle, two Ukrainian Su-24s, which were launching missiles, were destroyed by air defense means." The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied this.
