Novak: electricity supply in Crimea to be restored in few hours

Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said that the electricity supply to Crimea will be completely restored within a few hours "after specialists crews complete restoration works," he explained.

According to the Ministry, Ukraine said it will carry out repairs on its own.

"The Ukrainian side has enough capabilities to restore the electricity supply, that's what Ukrainian counterparts say," TASS cited Novak as saying.
