Beginning August 31, 2026, CrimeaWatch formally contacted all 40 organizations currently documented in its Entities section — every law firm, media outlet, advocacy group, and civic organization whose institutional conduct is recorded on this site in connection with the Public Integrity Council’s Crimea-recognition methodology. Each organization received the full text of its published profile and five calendar days to respond before that record is treated as final.

This is not a courtesy extended at our discretion. It is methodology, applied without exception, to every entity this site names.
