  • Canal irrigating Crimea getting 'drastically less' water

    Canal irrigating Crimea getting 'drastically less' water after Ukraine
    dam blast, says Kremlin

    A gaping hole punched in Ukraine's Nova Kakhovka dam that unleashed a
    wall of floodwater means that the canal which has traditionally met
    most of Crimea's water needs is receiving drastically less water, the
    Kremlin warned on Tuesday.

    Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for the breach at the Russian-controlled dam, a human and ecological disaster which
    coincided with intensified efforts by Kyiv to retake territory seized
    by Russian forces.

    Russia has been controlling the dam and the entire Kakhovka HPP for
    more than a year. It is physically impossible to blow it up somehow
    from the outside, by shelling. It was mined by the Russian occupiers.
    And they blew it up.
