The unrest began on November 20 after two electricity transmission towers which supply electricity to Crimea were blown up by unknown criminals. Repair crews, which were sent for reconstruction, were blocked by Crimean Tatar activists and militants of the extremist neo-Nazi organization “Right Sector“, blocking the destroyed electric power line. Regional authorities sent special forces to the site of clashes in order to push the protesters away.
