Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov has suggested terminating the contract for the supply of electrical power to Crimea by a National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) decision.

"I will say as a government official, not as interior minister, responding to a question of embargo on Ukrainian goods with which the Russian Federation threatened us several days ago, I think we should make a political decision at the level of the NSDC, at the level of the government to terminate the contracts for the supply of electrical power," Avakov said at an emergency session of the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers in Kyiv on Monday.
