Electric energy was switched off at the TV company “Krym”

Yesterday the forum of the bloc “Our Ukraine” with the participation of Viktor Yushchenko and other MPs was carried out in Simferopol.

On the same day Yushchenko appeared in the live broadcast of the Crimean private TV company “Zhisa”, where the MP answered the questions of TV viewers. He also had to appear at the state TV company “Krym”, but, at the moment when he entered the building of the TV company, the electric energy was switched off in the entire micro-district, where the company was situated. While the trouble was liquidated, Viktor Yushchenko left the studio and the transmission was cancelled.

The administration of the TV company “Krym” refused to meet with journalists and to give any comments. Valentin Kozubskiy, the general manager of the company, said to the representatives of “Telekritika” :  “We are forming now our viewpoint on this event, and today I will explain everything on the air”.
