Cyber ATESH hackers have attacked the main ticketing platform in temporarily occupied Crimea, Kassa24.ru, which is used to promote the Russian propagandistic agenda, according to the partisan movement's Telegram channel.

"By May 9, a day that once symbolized the end of war, we took down the Kassa24.ru website. It's the main ticketing resource in Crimea used to push the occupiers’ propaganda-driven cultural agenda," the statement said.

The partisans added that in the hands of the Putin regime, even Victory Day has become a tool of brainwashing. The memory of true heroism has been turned into a means of militarizing the population and justifying a new criminal war

"Putin, like Hitler, spreads death under the guise of higher goals. We are fighting not just the army but also its ideological machine. And if they think they can hold parades and performances on occupied Ukrainian territory, they should be prepared for their entire digital storefront to be destroyed," ATESH emphasized.
