In Moscow, two female defenders of the Krylatsky Hills were detained when they arrived at the site where illegal trimming with brush cutters had resumed. Maria, another defender of the park, informed OVD-Info of the incident.

• Since July 2024, construction work using heavy machinery has continued on the Krylatsky Hills. More than 70 hectares of the area have become inaccessible to local residents. Locals are documenting the violations carried out during the works and actively opposing them, which has led to frequent detentions.
