BBC: Crimea hit by power blackout and Ukraine trade boycott
Ukraine has suspended trade with Crimea, where a power blackout has caused major disruption.
Only essential services and government offices are operating in Crimea after key electricity pylons connected to the peninsula were knocked down in Ukraine.
Protesters - including Crimean Tatars - are preventing repairs to the pylons.
The Ukrainian government says new rules for cargo traffic need to be worked out for Crimea, which was annexed by Russian forces in March 2014.
There has been disruption to road and rail traffic to and from Crimea since Ukrainian nationalists and Crimean Tatars began a border blockade in September.
WNU Editor: Leonid Bershidsky from Bloomberg has a good analysis on why this crisis is not going to be solved soon .... Ukraine Bids for Attention With Crimea Blackout (Leonid Bershidsky, Bloomberg).
