Ukraine temporarily cuts off power supplies to Crimea

Ukraine temporarily cut off power supplies to Crimea on Wednesday after the Russian-controlled peninsula failed to curb consumption as required due to a power crisis, the Ukrainian energy ministry said.
«Today electricity supplies to Crimea were shut off … just as would be done to any region of Ukraine,» a ministry representative told Reuters by phone. «Supplies will be restored as soon as they implement the set consumption regime.»
Energy Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn subsequently told a government meeting supplies had resumed to Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in March, but still depends on Ukraine for power supplies.
