The UN received evidence of Ukraine's crimes against Crimea
Materials on Ukraine’s actions regarding the water blockade of Crimea were transferred to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet.
State Duma deputy from Crimea Natalia Poklonskaya reported this on her blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Poklonskaya, the documents refer to the illegal actions of the Ukrainian authorities, who decided to “turn off the tap” of the international Dnieper River, the waters of which flowed to the peninsula through the North Crimean Canal.
“The materials contain information about the illegal actions of the UN member state of Ukraine, which deliberately deprived millions of people of the basic and inalienable right to drinking water, creating a real threat to the life and health of the population of the peninsula, as well as the ecology of part of South-Eastern Europe.
The Ukrainian side’s justification for its crime looks ridiculous: citing its innocence in the lack of drinking water and calling on Russia to independently resolve issues of access to it, after they themselves illegally cut off the water flowing into Crimea through the North Crimean Canal from the international (and not privatized by someone else) then) the Dnieper River, keeping “your hand on the faucet” is blackmail and strongly resembles the behavior of an ordinary thief in the dock with an unsuccessful lawyer,” Poklonskaya said.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova explained why Ukraine is attempting to punish residents of the peninsula with a water blockade.
Let us recall that due to the blockade by Ukraine, as well as the dry summer in Crimea, the reservoirs that fed the Simferopol and Bakhchisaray districts, including the cities, dried up.
The authorities were forced to limit the water supply and introduce schedules.
In addition, an emergency transfer of water from other sources was organized.
