Sergey Aksyonov, the Russian-installed head of occupied Crimea, announced that a state of emergency would take effect across Crimea and Sevastopol at 1:00 p.m. on June 26.
Aksyonov said the measure was aimed primarily at restoring order in economic affairs — specifically financial, monetary, credit, and contractual relations, as well as damage recovery.
The state of emergency imposes no restrictions on residents, Aksyonov said, including no limits on movement and no curfew.
In recent days, occupied Crimea and Sevastopol have experienced power outages following Ukrainian strikes. On the previous day, occupation officials introduced a peninsula-wide “temporary power restrictions” regime. Since late May, Crimea has also been facing a fuel crisis, with fuel sales suspended across the peninsula. Amid the ongoing disruptions, authorities have suspended admissions to children’s summer camps until the end of the summer.
