"An hour ago, Ukraine unilaterally cut electric power supplies to the Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol, - he said. - On all four lines, to zero," he added.
According to the official, local authorities take measures to generate electricity to provide electric power for at least a half of the peninsula and restore the operation of mobile communication. "Negotiations with Ukraine are underway so that they resume supplies of electricity to the Crimea," the fuel and energy minister of the Crimea added.
- Noteworthy, the Crimea has been cut from electric power supplies on the threshold of a regular meeting of the contact group in Minsk to resolve the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Obviously, the problem with electricity in the Crimea will not help resolve the situation.
In the center of Simferopol, there is no electricity at all, even traffic lights do not work, Interfax reports.
A day earlier, the head of the republic, Sergei Aksenov, told journalists that Russia signed a contract with Ukraine about the transit of electricity to the territory of the Crimea. "The contract ensures uninterrupted supplies of electricity from Ukraine to the Crimea," he said.

Ukraine kappt Bahnverbindung zur Krim...
ReplyDeleteDie Ukraine-Friedensgespräche sind gescheitert. Das ukrainische Bahnunternehmen hat die Krim vom Festland abgeschnitten. Es werden keine Personen und Güter mehr zu der Halbinsel transportiert.
Nach Russland hat auch die Ukraine die Zugverbindungen in die von Russland annektierte Halbinsel Krim eingestellt. Der Zugverkehr werde wegen Sicherheitsbedenken ausgesetzt, teilte die ukrainische Staatsbahn am Freitag in Kiew mit, ohne nähere Angaben zu ihren Bedenken zu machen. Zehn Tage zuvor hatte bereits Russland seinen Zugverkehr zur Krim wegen geringer Nachfrage ausgesetzt.
Die Entscheidungen der Bahnunternehmen bedeuten, dass die meisten der 2,3 Millionen Einwohner der Krim nur mit dem Auto in die Ukraine und mit veralteten Fähren nach Russland fahren können. Ein paar russische Fluggesellschaften bieten allerdings noch Flüge in die Stadt Simferopol im Zentrum der Krim an. Da die Europäische Union diese Fluggesellschaften aber mit Sanktionen belegt hat, verfielen ihre Flugzeugversicherungen und ihre Serviceverträge.....................http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article135757777/Ukraine-kappt-Bahnverbindung-zur-Krim.html
