KIEV, March 24 - Ukraine on Monday resumed power supplies to its breakaway region of Crimea at full capacity following a brief disruption on Sunday caused by an apparent malfunction, DTEK KrymEnergo, a local power distributor, said.

The supply disruption triggered speculation that Ukraine, the main power supplier to Crimea, may be retaliating at its pro-Moscow leadership following annexation of the peninsula by Russia.

“All consumers have been re-connected to the power grid,” DTEK KrymEnergo said in a statement.
