Ukrainian resistance in Russian-occupied Ukraine

Not to be confused with 2022 protests in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia occupied vast portions of the territory of Ukraine, having already occupied parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts as well as the entire Autonomous Republic of Crimea since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2014. Partisan groups began to be organized in mid-2022.[5] These groups have been involved in intelligence-gathering, sabotage, and assassinations. Much of their activity has taken place in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.

On 11 June, Atesh partisans published footage and the coordinates of a Russian makeshift ammunition depot and communication hub in Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast.[149]

On 23 June, partisans claimed to have sabotaged a railway line connecting Mariupol and Rostov-on-Don by setting fire to a relay cabinet.[150]

On 26 June, Atesh guerillas claimed to have infiltrated another Russian ammunition depot on the premises of an abandoned farmstead in the village of Zakharivka, Donetsk Oblast. According to the partisans, the Russian military used the site to store artillery shells and announced that they handed over the coordinates to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[151]

July

edit

On 6 July, a partisan group claimed responsibility for sabotaging a gas pipeline near Vynohradne, a small settlement on the Crimean Riviera northeast of Yalta. The alleged attack resulted in a large fire, which affected 4,172 square meters of terrain, and threatened to spread into a dry, forested area for a short period of time. According to the local Russian occupation authorities, the blaze left 12 settlements without any gas supply, and stated it would take 7 to 10 days to repair the damaged facility.[152]

On 12 July, Atesh guerillas claimed to have set fire to a dry field near Oleshky in the Kherson Oblast. According to the partisans, the fire quickly encroached towards nearby Russian military positions, severely burning twenty Russian servicemen and causing a chain of explosions when ammunition stored in the trenches was triggered.[153]

On 22 July, Ukrainian resistance fighters reportedly killed 12 Russian soldiers in Mariupol by selling them prepped watermelons, which contained poisonous substances.[154]

On 23 July, Atesh militants and local residents coordinated a Ukrainian air strike on a military airfield in the Saky Raion, Russian-occupied Crimea.[155]

On 30 July, roughly 56,000 residents were left without power and running water, after four blazes engulfed at various substations in occupied Kerch, Crimea. According to Russian media outlets, the fires broke out simultaneously in the villages of Bondarenkove and Osovyny, as well as at the 450 Block and Mount Mithridat substations, which are located within the city limits. The Russian occupation authorities stated that sabotage might be the cause for the fires.[156]

August

edit

On 4 August, members of the Atesh movement set fire to a relay cabinet in Donetsk. The partisans claim that the railroad, which runs through the eastern Kalininskyi and Budonivskyi districts of the city, is a vital supply line for the Russian military and mainly supports the Russian grouping near Toretsk.[157]

On 23 August, the Day of the National Flag of Ukraine, Yellow Ribbon activists launched a coordinated effort in the occupied eastern city of Donetsk, and spray painted the Ukrainian flag in multiple districts of the city, namely in the areas near the former Zaperevalna Mine, the 122nd Gymnasium, and on Antropova, Danilevsky and Hornostaivska Street.[158]

On 25 August, pro-Russian Telegram channels reported that pro-Ukrainian militants managed to enter a makeshift barracks of the Russian military near Simferopol, where they stabbed 18 soldiers to death. It was also noted that this was not an isolated incident on the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula, and that similar incidents happened near Sevastopol and Yevpatoria a year earlier.[159]

On 28 August, Atesh partisans reportedly set fire to another relay cabinet in Southeastern Ukraine. According to the guerillas, the railway connecting Rostov-on-Don and the Russian-occupied cities of Mariupol and Berdiansk is of high strategic value, since it would serve as the main supply line for all Russian troops in Southern Ukraine in case of the destruction of the Crimean bridge.[160]

September-October

edit

On 11 September, Atesh partisans posted a picture and the coordinates of a Russian S-300 air defense complex near occupied Chonhar, Kherson Oblast.[161]

On 21 September, Atesh partisans infiltrated a Russian ammunition depot in the village of Vyshniuvate, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. A similar incident happened a day earlier, when guerillas from the same group entered a field depot belonging to the 36th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces in the Starobesheve Raion, Donetsk Oblast.[162][163]

On 2 October, a car bomb killed Vitaliy Lomeiko in Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Lomeiko was a local judge, who remained in Berdiansk after Russian military forces occupied the city, and was involved in many cases of collaboration since early 2022.[164]

On 4 October, a homemade car bomb killed Andriy Korotkyi in Enerhodar, occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The victim served as the Russian-appointed Head of Physical Security at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and was involved in organizing anti-Ukrainian propaganda events in the city.[165]

On 13 October, Atesh guerillas destroyed a Russian reconnaissance vehicle by setting fire to it in Novokaterynivka, a rural town near Starobesheve, Donetsk Oblast.[166]

On 14 October, the local Ukrainian partisan group 'SROK' posted footage from an infiltration at a training ground in Sartana, southeastern Donetsk Oblast. The grounds were reportedly used by North Korean military instructors in order to prepare possible frontline operations of the Korean People's Army in Ukraine. It was also noted that the KPA instructors can operate in relative safety, since a significant share of the remaining residents in the municipality - which is home to a large ethnic Russian minority - were holding pro-Russian views and supported the occupation authorities.[167][168]

On 18 October, Dmitry Pervukha, a major of the Russian Armed Forces, was reportedly killed by an explosive while driving his car in the city center of Luhansk, Eastern Ukraine. The explosion, which was audible throughout the entire city, also injured a woman and destroyed the vehicle of the victim, as well as damaging two others.[169][170]

On 20 October, Atesh partisans sabotaged a railway line near Novooleksiivka in the southern Kherson Oblast, which serves as a highly important supply line for the Russian military in Southern Ukraine.[171]

On 27 October, Ukrainian partisans blew up a railway bridge in the center of Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The powerful explosion targeted an overpass near a car wash on Skhidniy Avenue, which is located less than a kilometer north of the city's main station.[172]
