Crimea residents begin dismantling dried-up canal

While the Ukrainian government debates the issue of supplying water to occupied Crimea via the North Crimean Canal, and local  and Russian authorities promise residents this very water, a bridge and other civilisational amenities, Crimeans themselves are not wasting time.

 

Crimea residents have already begun gradually dismantling the dried-up canal. According to eyewitnesses, locals are quietly removing concrete slabs, some for their own construction needs, others for sale. On certain sections of the North Crimean Canal, tens or even hundreds of metres of concrete slabs are missing.

 

It is not hard to guess that in such a situation, the water will simply seep into the ground before reaching its destination, and whether Crimea will pay Ukraine for the evaporated water is a big question.
