Ukrainian Crimea has been occupied by Russia already for 1.5 years.
According to Article 55 of Geneva Convention all responsibility for the wellbeing of the population on the occupied territories lies on the occupying power:
“To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the population; it should, in particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical stores and other articles if the resources of the occupied territory are inadequate.”
However, somehow it was Ukraine that has been providing necessary supplies to the peninsula: 80% of food, water and electricity was delivered to Crimea from the continental Ukraine, and Russia considered it normal.
It’s like somebody has stolen your car and expects you to continue fueling it.
Such “business as usual” situation could have continued much longer if not for the idiotic bullying behavior of Russian government in Crimea, which:
1) closed Ukrainian and Crimean Tatars’ newspapers and TV channels;
2) banned leaders of Crimean Tatars from entering to Crimea;
3) started political persecution of holders of Ukrainian passports;
4) imprisoned Ukrainian and Tatar activists for falsified reasons.
On September 20, 2015, fed-up Crimean Tatar activists started transport blockade of Crimea to help Russian occupants to fulfill their duties according to Geneva Convention.
On November 22, 2015, high-voltage electricity lines connecting Crimea with continental Ukraine were blown by unknowns.
