gas pipeline

Russian politicians reacted to reports from Germany about the discussion of the Ukrainian water blockade on the Crimean peninsula in that country’s parliament. We remind that a few years ago Ukraine blocked the North Crimean Canal, which led to a significant deterioration in the freshwater situation on the peninsula. Thousands of Crimea are facing a shortage of fresh water. For a long time abroad, no attention was paid to this fact at all.
It has now been announced that the Bundestag plans to address the issue of Ukrainian measures to cut off the water supply in Crimea. The initiators of the discussion on this topic were the members of the parliamentary group “Alternative für Deutschland”. The mentioned party believes that the Ukrainian authorities are violating human rights, including acting against the interests of their own citizens.
Germany recalled that Ukraine itself keeps saying that Crimea is its “integral part”. At the same time, western politicians have finally expressed their confusion over how it is possible to deprive the citizens of their own country of a vital resource, namely water.
In Russia, in response to this initiative by the German parliamentarians, they state that the Bundestag can now pass a resolution calling on Kiev to end the water blockade in Crimea. In particular, it was noted that it will be difficult in the Bundestag itself to ignore the issue of the Ukrainian water blockade, as issues related to the need to respect human rights are constantly being raised.
In this context, the question arises as to what rhetoric Kiev will choose if German MPs take action to force Ukraine to restore water supplies to the Crimean Peninsula.
Meanwhile, experts note that Berlin is taking revenge on Kiev for trying to disrupt the completion of Nord Stream-2. If Ukraine does everything it can to disrupt the construction of the gas pipeline (including appeals to the US president), Germany is ready to show its willingness to find leverage on Kiev.
