Russian President Vladimir Putin promised to help factories of the Perm region making power generation equipment for Crimea.
"If my support is needed, I'm happy to push it," Interfax quoted his words spoken at a meeting with the governor of Perm Territory Viktor Basargin.
Putin specified that Crimea needs new turbines.
Basargin, in turn, assured the readiness of Perm enterprises to cooperate with Crimea.
