The Speaker of the Rada said that water will not flow to Crimea
The Ukrainian authorities are not conducting any negotiations regarding the resumption of water supply to the peninsula via the North Crimean Canal.
The speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, a member of the president’s team, Dmitry Razumkov, stated this in a comment to reporters, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the politician, Kyiv does not enter into negotiations with representatives of Crimea, DPR and LPR at all.
“Currently there are no talks of such negotiations either with the Russian Federation or with the so-called representatives of the occupied territories of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, much less Crimea. But to talk about this hypothetically, I think, will not be entirely correct,” Razumkov said.
Let us recall that previously the head of the presidential faction in the Verkhovna Rada David Arakhamia stated about the possibility of resuming water supplies to Crimea in exchange for Russia’s refusal to support the Donbass republics.
And the deputy head of the Mejlis banned in the Russian Federation, Riza Shevkiev stated that the Mejlis members will declare “independence of Crimea” in case Ukraine decides to resume water supply to the peninsula.
