Ukraine strengthens the economic blockade of the Crimea. Kiev announced a complete cessation of road transport and rail links with the peninsula. Since December 28, will cease to skip all passenger and freight trains, including from Moscow, where passengers already giving tickets. A Crimean authorities have warned people about the possibility of power outages, even on New Year’s night.
This turn did not expect any Crimeans, nor their relatives living in the Ukraine. Someone even had to quickly return home. Five trains came, five – are gone, including the last train to Kiev.
In Nadezhda in the capital of Ukraine – a daughter. “Do everything to Kiev and Simferopol not communicate” – sure a woman.
And Elena Nedelcu came from Odessa to visit his son. She – a nurse in a city hospital. Now in danger of being late for work. “We do not say anything, could not be reached now”, – complains woman.
It is known that from Ukraine train will now go only to the station “Novoalekseevka” and “Kherson”.
Train station of Simferopol. On the scoreboard – only commuter trains. Main, where there is a schedule of long-distance trains, generally empty. And on the platform there is no passenger train. How to go on what is unclear.
On the platform sound ads, but it seems that everything is clear.
The whole day in the halls – the queue. Tickets sold, because formal orders to cancel the movement was not. People are trying to find out anything.
Canceled and train “Moscow-Simferopol” – the only one that combined the peninsula with the capital of Russia.
On the deserted station, people hurry to the bus station – bus while walking.
The machine is also easy to reach. Ukraine has stopped for a few hours pass passenger cars through its border posts Armenian and Perekop. Worked only one – Dzhankoi. People traveling to the Crimea, were forced to throw the cars on the Ukrainian side and walk to the Russian checkpoints. Now everything is working as usual.
Another problem – the international payment system Visa and MasterCard announced on the eve of the termination of its activities in the Crimea. Because of the sanctions. Difficulties now saved, closed ATMs.
According to the Central Bank of Russia, in the Crimea, banks continue to work as usual, providing all banking services to both individuals and legal entities, including to open an account, transfer and remove money from the account.
