Russian Political Scientist Andrey Suzdaltsev: The Blockade of Crimea Returned to Ukraine an Economic and Political Boomerang
“We suffered enormous losses because of the severance of ties. On export alone we lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year that had to be received by the power supply system and have a positive influence on the reduction of tariffs for electricity. The fact that the pylons that transfer electricity to Crimea were subjected to sabotage is also a negative contribution,” he said.
He also added: the blockage of water and energy for Crimea was undertaken so that “Crimeans fell in love with continental Ukraine even more”.
The complaints of the Ukrainian former Deputy Prime Minister about the huge losses of the country because of the blockade of Crimea are not an exaggeration. This was stated by the deputy dean of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs of the HSE and expert on Ukraine Andrey Suzdaltsev to FBA “Economy Today”.
However, as the months passed, sanctions against the Russian Federation were imposed more and more rigidly, but Crimea did not return.
Now the Ukrainian authorities stay in bewilderment – destructive steps are being taken, and because of them the country incurs enormous losses, but it is impossible to change anything any more.
Crimea does not need electricity from Ukraine any more, deliveries of food were also replaced. However, Crimeans had to change their taste habits, to get used to the taste of Russian goods.
The situation with the deficiency of water on the peninsula is also being gradually solved. And if Kiev now tries to win back the situation, the radicals will accuse it of ‘signing contracts with the occupier’.
However, Ukraine already by and large has nothing to offer Crimea”, stressed the analyst.
The former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Vladimir Seminozhenko said on the air of the “NewsOne” channel that because of the blockade of Crimea, Ukraine loses hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

“For many decades Crimea, remaining a part of Ukraine from the 1950’s, was quite closely integrated economically with the Kherson and Nikolaev regions of Ukraine – water and electricity came from there. And since the conditions for agriculture in continental Ukraine are better than in Crimea, quite a big list of products was delivered to the peninsula from there. These are vegetables fruit, meat, and dairy products – Kiev voluntarily deprived Ukraine of this impressive market.
This is a step that is comparable with economic sabotage for the supplying country when farmers of two regions start to make losses in large quantities. moreover, Russia was ready to pay for electricity and water deliveries to the peninsula, and this is a lot. This money could be serious help for the Ukrainian economy. Kiev chose the most unprofitable for itself policy of severing ties, infringing on foreign business, and introducing a blockade”
notes the analyst“Blockading and cutting commercial ties became an extremely painful blow for the Ukrainian economy, as they are pure politics. Kiev took this step while considering that the situation with Crimea will be resolved very quickly – Russia will be pressured by the US and Europe, and under serious sanctions and also against the background of general international condemnation, Moscow will return the peninsula under Ukrainian jurisdiction.
However, as the months passed, sanctions against the Russian Federation were imposed more and more rigidly, but Crimea did not return.
