In Crimea, due to lack of electricity, trolleybuses between Simferopol, Alushta and Perevalny were stopped

In annexed Crimea, on June 27, trolleybuses No. 21 “Simferopol - Perevalnoe” and trolleybuses No. 51 “Simferopol – Alushta” were temporarily stopped. On the Krymtrolleybus hotline, the Krymskaya Gazeta correspondent was told that the routes are not operating due to sectoral power outages and lack of voltage in high-voltage networks.

The Insider's source in the Simferopol region reported that there has been no electricity in settlements along the trolleybus line for the third day. According to him, local residents who used to travel to Simferopol by trolleybuses now use more expensive minibuses, and some people walk.

Transport disruptions on the peninsula began on June 21, after attacks on the Kerch Strait. In Sevastopol, the operation of public transport was then limited, and the next day it began to run only until 21:00. On the same day, authorities introduced rolling blackouts in Sevastopol and reported partial blackouts in the Central, Northwestern and Yuzhnoberezhny power regions of Crimea. Some of the pumping stations of the Crimean Waters enterprise were left without power supply.

On June 24, after another attack in Sevastopol, trolleybuses were not on the line in the morning, and some bus routes were canceled or switched to increased intervals. The authorities also transferred most kindergartens to duty groups. On June 25, the head of the occupation administration of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, said that due to damage to the energy infrastructure, temporary power outages will occur throughout Crimea, and exact schedules may not be observed “due to the operational situation.”

On June 26, the Russian authorities of the annexed Crimea and Sevastopol introduced a regional emergency situation. Aksenov and the head of the occupation administration of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, said that it was necessary primarily to “streamline issues of an economic nature” and ensure the operation of life support systems. The state of emergency was introduced against the backdrop of a fuel shortage, interruptions in electricity and water supply, as well as restrictions on transport and supplies to the peninsula.
