Simferopol – Russia and Ukraine have reached an agreement on electricity supplies, which will ensure stable energy supply to Crimea, Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Aksionov said.
“Today an agreement was signed on deliveries of electricity [from Russia] to
Ukraine. The agreement also guarantees electricity supplies [from Ukraine] to
Crimea,” Aksionov told the press in Simferopol on Dec. 8.
Ukraine significantly cut electricity supplies to Crimea at the end of
November. Of four high-voltage power transmission lines, through which energy
was transmitted to the peninsula, only one is functioning. In the regions,
Crimea is applying so-called rolling blackouts.
Over the past few days the situation with power supply to the region has
improved and there have been a minimum amount of power cuts, he said.
