"It will be a dead-end line, power will not be supplied to Crimea through it. We will try to bring to knowledge of people in power in the framework of the current legislation that the supply of electricity to Crimea is immoral, to say the least," he said, adding that three more lines continue supplying power to the occupied peninsula.
Gdanov told that one of the power line's towers in Kherson region was previously damaged by unknown people. Hundreds of participants of the blockade gathered around it, including the local population. Due to the presence of people on the site, electrical engineers were not able to continue repair work. Therefore, the power line was shut down.
