In Kiev, they said that they “had every right” to shut off water to Crimea
According to Korinevich, the Dnieper River does not flow through the territory of Crimea, and water was supplied there through a canal belonging to Ukraine. Kiev “has every right” to block this technical structure, since it belongs to Ukraine. He emphasized that on the peninsula "there are no problems with water", it is enough for the needs of the population.
- declared Korinevich.
Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers - Permanent Representative of Crimea under the President of Russia, Georgy Muradov, said that Kiev, having blocked the flow of water to the Crimea in the 2014, violated international law regulating the flow of rivers such as the Dnieper. According to him, the Dnieper River takes its roots in the territory of Russia and flows through the territory of three states, being a river of international importance, and not Ukrainian, as they say in Kiev.
- he said.
Meanwhile, in Crimea itself it was stated that there is currently no problem with water on the peninsula, but it exists on the territory of Ukraine, where a gradual flooding of the Kherson region began due to the closure of the canal.
