Ukraine is in the headlines again this week, with two major stories breaking. The first is an explosion at a power plant in Crimea, which has left much of the region without power. The second story relates to a travel dispute between Ukraine and Russia, which could have serious implications for tourists planning to visit either country.
The explosion at the power plant in Crimea has left much of the region without power. It is not yet clear what caused the explosion, but officials are investigating. This is just the latest in a series of problems for Crimea, which has been struggling since it was annexed by Russia in 2014.
Meanwhile, the travel dispute between Ukraine and Russia continues to cause problems. Earlier this week, Ukraine announced that it was suspending all flights to and from Russia, citing concerns about Russian military activity in the region. This could have serious implications for tourists planning to visit either country, as there are now no direct flights between them.
