The same water that they denied cutting off a few days ago???
“The same water that they denied cutting off a few days ago???”
You either (1) failed to read the aritcle or (2) read the article and deliberately misrepesdented what you read. The actual statement was “will be cut off”, and it DID NOT say ARE cutoff:
“Groysman said, water supplies from mainland Ukraine will be cut off. [....] Interestingly, the State Water Resources Agency denies the stoppage of water supplies to Crimea through the North Crimean channel. It only admits that since April 28 the speed of water flow has slowed it decreased to 11.1 cubic meters per second from 13 cubic meters per second on April 23.”
The agency emphasizes that Crimea still receives water, though there are no legal grounds for that. Since April 28, Crimea started taking away 35 percent more water, according to the agency.
