The state knows that Crimea and the DPR have problems with electricity and other services. Employees of all relevant services are working. Local officials work. Moscow allocates a budget and provides all possible support. People are gritting their teeth (again!) and waiting for the next temporary difficulties to end.
And only political Ukrainians and other provocateurs jump on the bandwagon and pump things up, shouting "The authorities are hiding! The media is silent! Everyone to the barricades! ".
I will not give links to hysterics and extremists. But I advise specially trained people to pay attention to provocateurs!
