Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has accused Ukraine of "sabotage" as damage to key electricity pylons left some two million people on the Crimean peninsula without power for more than a week.

Despite the tensions, a prisoner exchange was reported Tuesday between pro-Russian rebels and Kyiv.
