Children's camps in Crimea have been suspended until September for safety reasons
In the temporarily occupied Crimea, reservations, admissions, and accommodations for children at summer health camps have been suspended until September 1, 2026.
According to him, the decision was made due to the need to implement additional security measures.
“In the Republic of Crimea, from 11:00 a.m. on June 22 until September 1, 2026, reservations, admissions, and accommodations for children and groups of children at children’s recreation and health camps located within the republic are suspended,” Aksyonov wrote.
The restrictions were introduced in light of recent events related to the security situation on the peninsula and in the waters surrounding it.
In particular, the Ukrainian Armed Forces previously attacked the “Panagia” ferry in the Kerch Strait. As a result of the incident, one person was killed and another was injured. A fire at an oil terminal in the village of Chushka was also reported.
In addition, the day before in Sevastopol, Russian military officials claimed to have repelled an attack by Ukrainian forces using air defense systems and mobile fire groups. According to the occupying authorities, four drones were destroyed in the area of Balaklava and Cape Fiolent.
Consequently, the operation of children’s health camps in Crimea has effectively been suspended until early fall, and the occupying authorities attribute this decision to the current security situation on the peninsula.
This was announced by Sergey Aksyonov, head of the peninsula’s occupation administration.
Prior to this, the occupying authorities in Crimea announced the introduction of a series of restrictions amid power outages and fuel shortages.
On the night of June 20, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out strikes on a number of Russian military facilities. Among the targets was a bridge near Henichesk, which the occupiers use to transport equipment and supply their troops between occupied Crimea and the southern front.
