The head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that the water blockade of the peninsula was over.
“In fact, yes, since the armed forces of the Russian Federation control the node in Nova Kakhovka, respectively, they control the barrier that the nationalists once created,” Aksyonov answered the question of whether the water blockade of Crimea can be considered lifted.
“Crimea is ready to accept this water. For technical reasons, the canal was not filled today,” he added.
According to him, technical specialists are already working on site, who will be ready to supply water to the canal tomorrow. There are now technical and political opportunities for this, Aksyonov explained.
“Tomorrow morning, our engineers will once again go through and check the readiness of the dampers and water supply systems. The fact is that manual adjustment is also needed there, so that at the start the water pressure is not too strong, so that we are not washed away. Tomorrow morning, all technical decisions will be made, it is possible to do this within one day, ”Aksenov said on the air of the Crimea 24 TV channel (quote from KrymInform).
