The so-called Crimean authorities at the meeting discussed the problem of water supply interruptions on the peninsula. Thousands of residents complained about the failure to meet the water supply schedule and its poor quality.
The Crimean occupation authorities will forcibly buy wells and wells from local residents due to the lack of water on the peninsula. This was stated by the so-called Crimean chief Sergey Aksenov, who posted a video of the meeting on his Facebook.
“Water is a strategic raw material. It will not be otherwise. If in this case there is a misunderstanding with the owners, involve the prosecution and make a decision. The water supply is a common cause, and the water [для] all the world [это] It is not owned by someone. There will not be a single well that will not allow people to feed [воду]. When they refuse, make a decision about forced redemption. There will be no other way, companions. Today there is not enough water for everyone, ”he said.
Also during the meeting, issues of interruptions in the water supply in Simferopol, Yalta and Bakhchisarai districts were considered. In particular, over the weekend, the “authorities” received thousands of complaints from local residents about the non-compliance with the water supply schedule and its poor quality. In some areas, there was no water for up to six days in a row.
In annexed Crimea there is a serious water shortage problem. The invaders even wanted to lure in aviation to artificially increase rainfall on the peninsula.
Before the Russian annexation of Crimea, Ukraine provided 85% of the peninsula’s freshwater needs through the North Crimean Canal. After the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in the spring of 2014, Kiev stopped the supply of water to the peninsula. According to media reports, no alternative to the Dnieper water supply has yet been found in Crimea, except large-scale pumping of groundwater.
In June 2019, the former permanent representative of the President of Ukraine to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Boris Babin, said that the invaders had offered bribes to restore the water supply to the annexed peninsula.
In September, Sergei Shevchenko, head of the Northern Crimean Canal, said it was technically impossible to supply water from mainland Ukraine to Crimea.
On September 22, in Simferopol and in 39 settlements in Simferopol and Bakhchisarai districts, the water supply was severely limited: it is supplied every hour in the morning and at night. The Crimean occupation authorities stated that are considering the possibility of using seawater desalination plants.
