Ukrainian Police Blame Second Crimean Power Outage On Sabotage

Police in Ukraine's Kherson region, which borders Crimea, said on December 31 that the only functional high-voltage line providing electricity to Crimea had been cut off by a blast. They said they are setting up a commission to investigate the matter.

Ukrainian electricity company Ukrenergo said it was working to quickly restore power.

Why should those pro-Russian separatists think they can still suck power from the rest of the Ukraine when they reject and kill their former countrymen and women?
