The Ukrainian government's cutting off the North-Crimean Channel, the main source of water for Crimea, is "an absolutely unfriendly and politicized act," Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on May, 26.
“As far as we can understand, the North-Crimean Channel, through which
Crimea receives most of its water, has practically been cut off by the
Ukrainian side. This is an absolutely unfriendly and politicized act.
It’s a problem that needs a solution in any case,” Medvedev said at a
conference in Crimea with his deputies.
