Energy to Crimea: Stupidity and Sabotage
In mid-December, Russia established the second link of an “energy bridge” between Russia’s mainland Kuban region and Crimea, a peninsula geographically connected with Ukraine. The first link was set for repairs a few days earlier. The repairs were needed only 10 days after the bridge’s grand opening. Local residents immediately felt the effects of the new limitations on sending electricity to the peninsula – after all, in such situations it is acceptable to first cut off power to the residential sector in an effort to keep the lights on in strategic and public buildings.
