The UN has condemned Ukraine for blockade of the Crimea A food blockade of the Crimea, introduced on the initiative of living in Ukraine Crimean Tatars and extremists from the "Right sector", only will strengthen disagreements between Kiev and Simferopol, said the assistant UN Secretary-General Ivan å?imonoviä?.

In addition, this measure will result in negative financial results, which will have a negative impact even in Ukraine itself.

Kiev decided not to prevent the extremists from the "Right sector" and living in the Ukraine to the Crimean Tatars, who blocked at the border with trucks of food going to the Crimea. A similar position has not found understanding at the UN where not been able to locate 1 useful factor food blockade.

"This can lead to an increase in the separation between Ukraine and Crimea, as well as economically to annoy both faces, while neither 1 of them can ill afford this due to financial reasons", - quotes RIA Novosti assistant UN Secretary-General Ivan å?imonoviä?. The participant made a presentation about the situation in Ukraine before the UN Council on civil rights in Geneva.

And yet Kiev is still affecting the inhabitants of the region financial pressure. For example, the head of the Ministry of energy of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchyshyn said that the power will increase the cost of electricity supplied to Russia. For going to the Crimea energy Kiev want to take a penny more 53 - 3,95 rubles per kilowatt.

"If the increase happens, it does not specifically relate to the Crimea. The tariffs for Crimeans will not affect" - said the Minister of fuel and energy of Crimea Sergey Egorov. Note that the Russian company "inter RAO" and Ukrainian "vital-press" came to the agreement on the provision of faithful and uninterrupted supply of the Peninsula.

However the desire in any way to limit the Crimeans forced Kiev to go and on more radical, although having too little use, measures. Recall that on 20 September living in Ukraine Crimean Tatars blocked the delivery of food to the Russian Peninsula. They keep the trucks on the adjacent to the state border of the Ukrainian lands.

Intention to block the border with the Crimea was said by the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada Refat Chubarov and Mustafa Dzhemilev. Later this "action" was joined by activists, even "Right sector", whose work on the terrain of Russia is prohibited by the decision of the Supreme court.

At the same time, national MPs declared that the transport blockade of the Crimea has no value. The inhabitants of the Peninsula will not mark the change, because the supply of products easily get better from Turkey.
