Activities in Russian-occupied areas (Russian objective: Consolidate administrative control of annexed areas; forcibly integrate Ukrainian citizens into Russian sociocultural, economic, military, and governance systems)
Russian occupation officials are beginning to announce that occupied areas of Ukraine will not hold significant public Christmas and New Years’ celebrations due to security concerns. Crimean occupation head Sergei Aksyonov announced on November 14 that occupied Crimea will not host significant public Christmas or New Years’ events.[94] Aksyonov noted that many areas of Crimea remain under a “yellow level” of terrorist threat.[95] Many Russian regions cancelled mass holidays gatherings in winter 2022 to redirect the funds to supporting Russian mobilized personnel in Ukraine, and occupation administrations have previously cancelled public holiday celebrations due to the martial law declarations across occupied territories.[96]
