Russian occupation in Ukraine: Silent acts of resistance and fear

Summary

69% Informative

A fifth of Ukrainian territory is now under Russian control, and for Ukrainians living under occupation there seems little chance that any future deal to end the war will change that.

Three Ukrainians in different Russian -controlled cities have told the BBC of the pressures they face, from being forced to accept a Russian passport to carrying out small acts of resistance.

The potential dangers are the same, whether in Mariupol or Melitopol , seized by Russia in the full-scale invasion in 2022 , or Crimea which was annexed eight years before.

Zla Mavka is part of a secret female resistance movement in occupied cities.

The network is made up of women and girls in "pretty much all occupied cities", says Iryna .

She cannot reveal its size or scale because of the potential dangers for its members.

The worry is that if Kyiv agrees a ceasefire it could mean Russia erasing Ukrainian identity.
