Ukraine cuts power supply to separatist region, blaming unpaid debts

KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's national power company said on Tuesday it had cut electricity to parts of an eastern region controlled by pro-Russian separatists because they had run up large debts.

There was no immediate reaction from political leaders in Luhansk, who are caught up in a tense stand-off with Ukraine's government - part of a wider confrontation between Moscow and Kiev's Western backers.
