Crimea is spiraling deeper into chaos.
A state of emergency has been declared in occupied Crimea. There is no gas, no electricity, and even food shortages are beginning to emerge. And this is only the beginning.
Modern society depends on infrastructure functioning without interruption. Once critical systems start failing, it takes only days before everything begins to unravel. In Crimea, virtually every essential system is breaking down.
And Moscow’s response? Nothing. The Kremlin has effectively abandoned the local population.
Because, even to Moscow, Crimea is not russia.
