Excerpt from Paul Globe - writing about the ongoing war against the Crimean Tatars by the Russian authorities, most recently today Refat Chubarov, head of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis, was refused re-entry into Crimea.
The Russian occupation authorities in Crimea blocked Refat Chubarov, head of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis, from returning to his homeland from Kherson Oblast where he was attending a meeting, an action that repeats their exclusion of Mustafa Cemilev on May 3 and that is now a key part of Moscow’s effort to rein in the Crimean Tatars.
...
In many respects, such actions by the occupiers represent an updated version of Soviet policy when dissidents or others Moscow did not approve of were in some cases allowed to travel abroad and then stripped of their Soviet citizenship so that they could not return.
...
The Russian occupation authorities are engaged in what can only be described as “a law-like” but illegal action. That is, they are violating the Russian Constitution which they claim now governs life in Crimea, but they are doing so in a way that is likely to create the illusion that they are acting “legally.”

In Eastern Ukraine, over the last 24 hours, ATO forces have liberated four cities in Donbas: Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkyvka, Kostyantynivka. The State flag has been raised above the city councils. This offensive military action has resulted in many deaths of pro-Russian separatists, the total numbers are yet unknown.
