No I remember that. A dispute over payments for water.

In 1954, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev transferred Crimea from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

After Russia took Crimea back in 2014, was Ukraine supposed to provide for Crimea for free?

More evidence of what a liar and your fellow Zeeptards are.

The water was intentionally cutoff by the Ukrainian government as payback because the residents voted to join the Russian Federation.

Shortly after Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine built a concrete dam cutting off 85 percent of the peninsula’s water supply. So one of Moscow’s first strategic moves after invading the country was to blow it up.

Ukraine had constructed the dam on the North Crimean Canal, a Soviet-era conduit that conveyed water from the Dnieper River to both Crimea and the Kherson region of Ukraine.
