“85% of Crimean agricultural production depends upon that water”
True, good point. 60% of the industry market in Crimea belongs to food production. Livestock production is poultry with cattle and sheep breeding.Products produced on the Crimean Peninsula include cereals, vegetable-growing, gardening, and wine-making.
Crimea is facing a water shortage wiht its rivers and major streams fed by rainwater. Many streams dry up completely during the summer.
Still Crimea is Ukrainian territory currently occupied by Russia and Crimea internationally recognized as part of Ukraine. Kyiv politically administers thru the Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories for the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
Crimea also has several natural gas fields both onshore and offshore, which were starting to be drilled by western oil and gas companies before annexation!!
