SIMFEROPOL, Feb. 27 - The Crimean authorities have nationalized some 250 private facilities and no new decisions on nationalization will be made, Sergei Aksyonov, the head of the Republic of Crimea, said.

"There are some 250 private facilities. An overwhelming majority of them are property of [Ukrainian businessman Ihor] Kolomoisky, and the money for it will go to depositors [of Kolomoisky-controlled PrivatBank, which stopped working in Crimea after the region's reunion with Russia]," Aksyonov told reporters in Simferopol on Friday.
