Militarization of Occupied Areas

Russian occupation administrations continue efforts to institutionalize drone training programs amongst youth in occupied Ukraine. The occupied Donetsk Oblast branch of Rosgvardia (Russia’s heavily militarized internal security service) reported on September 16 that its officers held a master class on drone operation for students at a school in occupied Donetsk Oblast.[1] This incident reflects both the increased incorporation of military technology training into school curricula in occupied Ukraine as well as Rosgvardia’s increased role in interfacing with children and youth in occupied areas.[2] Russian occupation authorities are also incentivizing youth participation in drone-related activities through competitions and recreational programs such as drone racing leagues, which are particularly prevalent in occupied Crimea. Founder of the Crimean Research Institute of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Technologies Alexander Akulenko reported on September 17 that the Crimean occupation administration plans to create a youth team of the “best” drone pilots to compete in national and international drone racing competitions.[3] Crimean occupation authorities have emphasized their focus on establishing a long-term training pipeline that identifies talented children and youth through school programs and competitions, develops their technical skills, and integrates them into the wider personnel reserve for drone-related professions.[4] These efforts support Russia’s long-term objectives of militarizing children in occupied Ukraine, normalizing and incentivizing participation in Russia’s defense and security sectors, and creating a future workforce capable of supporting the Russian state’s growing demand for drone and unmanned systems specialists.

Occupation Administration Mismanagement and Internal Dynamics

The Kremlin continues to categorically deny Russia’s role in creating a humanitarian crisis in occupied Oleshky, instead blaming the Ukrainian government to deflect from Russia’s international legal responsibility. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov acknowledged during a press briefing on September 21 that there are challenges with food and medicine supply to occupied Oleshky, but blamed Ukraine entirely for the situation.[5] Ukrainian officials and first-hand testimonies from those who managed to escape Oleshky suggest that Russia is the party blocking humanitarian efforts and evacuation plans.[6] Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets announced on September 16 that Russian officials reneged on previous bilateral agreements to facilitate an evacuation out of Oleshky and the surrounding areas.[7] The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported on September 23 that Ukraine and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) are ready to deliver food and medical aid to Oleshky, but that Russia continues to block supplies.[8] Survivors of the occupation of Oleshky told Ukrainian journalistic project “Life in War” in an article published on September 18 that Russia’s mining of the roads out of Oleshky has made escape extremely dangerous and reported that Russian soldiers deployed to the Oleshky area often act abusively towards the local population, citing several instances of alleged sexual assaults.[9] Russia has so far shown no interest in working with Ukraine or the ICRC to establish a local humanitarian ceasefire in the Oleshky area, and the Kremlin’s attempts to blame Ukraine are a deliberate attempt to obfuscate this fact.

Physical and Legal Repressions

Russian legal and law enforcement organs continue to pursue decades-long sentences against residents of occupied Ukraine for alleged donations to the Ukrainian military. The Zaporizhia Oblast occupation court sentenced a 69-year-old resident of occupied Tokmak to 12 years in prison for treason on the allegation that she transferred funds from her Ukrainian bank account to the Ukrainian military.[10] The court claimed that the woman continued to receive pension payments from the Ukrainian government even after receiving Russian citizenship. The woman is allegedly to have transferred about 60,000 rubles ($708) to Ukraine between August 2023 and May 2025. Kherson Oblast occupation head Vladimir Saldo claimed on September 22 that Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) officers detained a resident of occupied Kherson Oblast for allegedly transferring money to bank cards later used to finance Ukrainian forces.[11] The woman faces treason charges that carry a 12-to-20-year prison sentence. Occupation courts frequently issue charges of ten-plus years for alleged donations made to Ukraine, even if the sums involved are trivial.[12] Evidence in many of these cases is collected via extensive digital or financial surveillance, and Russian law enforcement often equates the presence of a Ukrainian banking app on a personal phone as sufficient proof of “treasonous” donations.[13]

Economic and Financial Control

The Crimean occupation administration continues to profit from its punitive nationalization of Ukrainian assets. Chairman of the Crimean state occupation council Vladimir Konstantinov reported on September 18 that the occupation administration has sold 10 nationalized assets seized from “Ukrainian oligarchs” for 1.3 billion rubles ($15 million) in 2026.[14] Konstantinov claimed that the funds from the sale of the assets will be directed to support Russian veterans of the war in Ukraine and for construction projects. Deputy Permanent Representative of the Ukrainian President in Crimea Denys Chystykov reported to Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty’s Crimea service on September 21 that the occupation administration has seized over 6,000 property objects and assets on the occupied peninsula since 2022, noting that occupation officials use nationalization for personal enrichment.[15]

Information Space Control

Kremlin newswire TASS launched a new effort to curate a cadre of young media personalities in occupied Ukraine. TASS Director General Andrei Kondrashov announced on September 18 the launch of the new “Mediaprizyv” (or “Media Call”) award, which is designed for young journalists, authors, and content creators from occupied Kherson, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk oblasts.[16] Award winners will receive a full training program at the “New Media Workshop,” a Kremlin program for the education of future media professionals.[17] Prominent Kremlin-aligned military bloggers such as Alexander Kots, Semyon Pegov, and Yevgeny Poddubny are involved in evaluating submissions and selecting the winners.[18] Kondrashov commented that the name of the prize contains a “profound historic meaning,” as a “call” refers to when the “Motherland, in times of danger, calls upon its best daughters and sons to stand on the front lines.”[19] Mediaprizyv is part of a wider Kremlin effort to train a cadre of young, pro-Russian journalists in occupied Ukraine. These efforts have included the establishment of Kremlin-linked “blog schools” in occupied Ukrainian cities such as Mariupol and the recruitment of influencers to portray redevelopment and Russification efforts in a positive light.[20] Russian officials encourage these grassroots efforts with the intent of legitimizing the Kremlin narrative that Russian occupation is seen positively by residents of occupied Ukraine.[21] Mediaprizyv and similar Russian efforts are intended to train youth in occupied Ukraine to be active participants in the pro-Russian information space in occupied Ukraine.
