Poroshenko gave the go-ahead for sabotage against Crimea
Former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko personally agreed on sabotage to blow up electrical towers on the border of Crimea and the Kherson region.
This was announced by the speaker of the State Council of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Poroshenko gave the go-ahead for this special operation, and we know for sure from reliable sources that he held meetings on blowing up [energy towers]. When they came to him, he gave the go-ahead. They convinced him that if they did this, everything would fall to pieces, and the Crimeans would quickly run to Ukraine to surrender,” Konstantinov said.
The working group that was collecting documents on the water blockade of Crimea is now collecting facts on the energy blockade. In November 2015, a gang of extremists led by the former Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea, Lenur Islyamov, blew up power line supports that brought electricity to Crimea from Ukraine.
For two months, Crimeans lived with hourly electricity supply, until a cable was laid from the Krasnodar Territory along the bottom of the Kerch Strait, pumping 800 MW per day. A state of emergency was introduced in the region.
Islyamov was sentenced in absentia to 19 years in prison and compensation for damages of 1 billion rubles. Islyamov’s property is under arrest.
In total, Crimea will file claims against Ukraine for 5 blockades of the peninsula: water, energy, transport, banking and food.
At the same time, the Crimean authorities insist on bringing to justice 12 organizers of the blockades: ex-People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Andrei Senchenko, leaders of the banned Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Dzhemilev and Refat Chubarov, ex-Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Crimea Lenur Islyamov, former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, ex-representative of the President of Ukraine in the virtual Autonomous Republic of Crimea Boris Babin, ex-head of the State Water Resources Agency Vasily Stashuk, ex-people's deputies Igor Lutsenko and Vladimir Parasyuk, former head of the Kherson region Andrey Putilov, as well as ex-head of the administration of Genichesk (Kherson region) Alexander Vorobyov .
The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation sent materials to European judicial authorities with the aim of recognizing all actions of Ukraine towards Russian citizens living in Crimea as genocide.
