Russia has labeled the Ukrainian resistance movement "Yellow Ribbon" as an "extremist organization" and banned its activities within its territory. This designation was made by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation following a closed court session initiated by the Prosecutor General's Office. The classification allows for severe penalties under Russian law for organizing or participating in such groups. Activists warn that this move could lead to increased persecution of Ukrainians in occupied territories. The Yellow Ribbon movement, which emerged in Kherson in April 2022, promotes peaceful resistance against Russian occupation through various symbolic actions. In 2022, it was awarded the Sakharov Prize by the European Parliament and has pledged its prize money to support a children's hospital in Kyiv affected by Russian attacks.
