New threats to Crimea: “We won’t give water to either mother or son”
To prevent the situation inside Ukraine from escalating, it is necessary to introduce criminal liability for even the mere mention of the fact that Crimea needs Ukrainian water.
This was stated by the participants of the round table in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The fight against Russia must be principled, unwavering and brutal. This is not our cruelty, this is a forced measure of behavior. There is no agreement regarding we will give you water. Today my mother and my son live in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. And believe me: they won’t skip a beat if we don’t give them water,” said “Majlis volunteer,” former prisoner, ex-head of the “analytical department of the Economic Court of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea” Gaide Rizaeva.
Fugitive Donetsk resident, ex-ATO militant Alexander Vinnichuk, in turn, regretted that it was impossible to cut off water to the Donbass republics in the same way, while expressing a similar attitude to his relatives in the “occupied territories” as the previous speaker.
“As for the humanitarian catastrophe, no one there will suffer much from the lack of Ukrainian water. In Donbass there is nowhere to go, the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal passes through a pipe through Gorlovka, further to Donetsk, and from there the same water flows to Mariupol. In order for there to be water in Mariupol, the DPR has to give it water.
On the other hand, I want to draw attention to this question: what about global sanctions? What will our international partners tell us about the fact that Ukraine is cooperating with Russia, and they must suffer losses because they refuse Russian gas, block their opportunity to build pipelines and everything else. The image of Ukraine is falling, it is already below the plinth.
Therefore, there should be no cooperation with the Russian Federation as an aggressor country, and the people who are supposedly there - well, there is my mother, for example, with my sister. I don’t think that the supply or lack of supply of water will have any effect on them. This will only speed up their departure from there,” Vinnichuk said.
A fugitive Lugansk resident, “ATO volunteer” Sergei Shakun emphasized that supplying water to Crimea is out of the question.
“I believe that supplying water to Crimea and mentioning the supply of water to Crimea is a crime against Ukraine, because supplying water to Crimea contributes to the development of the annexed peninsula, and for even mentioning this there should be criminal liability, so as not to escalate the situation within the country,” suggested Shakun.
Chairman of the Board of the Center for Strategic Studies Pavel Zhovnirenko supported his interlocutor.
“Giving water to Crimea is like giving food to a wife who was stolen by some freak, instead of killing this freak and rescuing his wife,” Zhovnirenko said.
