So far, Russia has not officially submitted a request to start a dialogue on Crimea’s water supply, Sergei Kislitsa said.
If Russia wants Ukraine to supply water to the annexed Crimea, it must ask for it. Before that, it is necessary for Russia to recognize itself as an occupying country. This was stated by the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN, Serhiy Kislitsa, reports Crimea.Realii on Tuesday, September 22.
“To start a conversation about the water supply, they (the Russian authorities – ed.), First of all, they must acknowledge that they are an occupying country and officially apply as an occupying country, in accordance with humanitarian law. They must contact the Ukrainian authorities with an official request, not with threats, with hysteria, you understand. And then we will look, then the relevant ministries and departments will see what our reaction should be, “Kislitsa said.
“They should approach the Ukrainian authorities with an official request, and not with threats, with hysteria, you know. And then we will look, then the relevant ministries and departments will see what our reaction should be,” Kislitsa said.
He also added that so far Russia has not officially submitted a request to start a dialogue on Crimean water supply.
“Instead, we see a lot of fuss and hysteria behind the scenes of this issue,” the diplomat concluded.
We will recall, since August 24 in Simferopol and 39 nearby settlements began to limit the water supply. Economy mode can continue until March 2021.
And in September, Russia complained to the UN about Ukraine over the water supply in Crimea, with a request to help prevent a humanitarian disaster.
In turn, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry declared Russia’s accusations null and void.
