Ukraine was afraid of the response for blockade of the Crimea In terms of "energy blockade" of the Crimea Ukrainian activists blew up power transmission towers, for which the Peninsula had been purchased in Ukraine the electricity, but not thought what will be the results of these steps.

Now deputies are afraid that Moscow can apply similar measures, and in winter many regions are powers that depend on energy supplies from Russia, will remain without light.

In Crimea continuing problems with the supply of electricity, after the Ukrainian activists in terms of "energy blockade" of the Crimea blew up power transmission towers. Until such time as the defects will not be reconstructed, or until the creation of an energy bridge in the region with mainland Russia, crashes, experts expect to continue.

And yet, more concern arises not from the Crimeans and the Ukrainians - MPs power considered that after breakage of supplies of electricity to Crimea Russia is able to make a return, which will hurt the Ukraine. "In exactly a month, when cold and will increase the load on our electrical grid, Kharkiv, Sumy and some other areas will remain without electricity. We definitely also dependent on Russian electricity in the same way as Crimea is dependent on us" - quoted by "Politnavigator" the Deputy from Blok Petro Poroshenko Vadim Denisenko.

In Crimea undermine the power transmission lines had led to a sharp increase in anti-Ukrainian sentiments. "Our people, the Crimean Tatars, who live in villages, actually the 3rd part of Crimea, at the moment without light. All were left without electricity. Now all will clear. And the fact that it's a diversion against the Crimean Tatar people is undoubtedly" - quoted by NTV Chairman of the public organization "the Crimea birligi" Seytumer Nimetullah.

With all this power and the inhabitants of the Peninsula believe that any conversation with the "activists" of the blockade should not go. "The language of ultimatums to communicate with us, no one will. I guarantee it. Better we can manage 1, but will put points over i" - announced the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksenov.

Experts believe that the best thing in the occurred situation as soon as possible to adjust the supply of energy from the continental part of the Russian Federation. "We did this work, when temporarily gave power data and the far East, in Siberia and in Russian times. And there are no problems to throw the cable across the Strait. This is not a problem," says the Director of the Institute of problems of energy Bulat Nigmatullin.

It is unknown how many will continue an "energy blockade" of Crimea, but one thing is clear - Kiev actions achieved the opposite result. The undermining of the power lines has led not only to irritation of the Crimeans, but also created the risk of serious financial consequences for Ukraine.

Remember, on the night of 22 November, the region was completely disconnected as a result of erosion in the South of Ukraine supports the transmission line at which energy is received in the region. The deliveries have been suspended from the integrated grid of Ukraine for the Crimean outlet on interstate line VL-330 kV "Melitopol-Dzhankoy and Kakhovka-Ostrovskaya".

On the Peninsula entered a state of emergency prior to the full resumption of power supply. Major infrastructure and social facilities of Crimea after the cessation of supplies from Ukraine were connected to emergency power sources, even diesel generators.
