Russian troops have destroyed a concrete dam built in Ukraine's Kherson Region in 2014 to cut off water to Crimea, the RIA news agency quoted the governor of Russian-annexed Crimea Sergei Aksyonov as saying on Saturday.
Ukraine cut off the fresh water supply to Crimea by damming a canal that had supplied 85% of the peninsula's needs before Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014.

Just the beginning of many wars to be fought worldwide over drinking water, instead of oil.

caused by droughts because of climate change?
I won’t doubt that a couple of determined Ukes under cover of darkness will find their way clear to dumping a few barrels of toxic sludge into that water way. It’s be a shame if the Crimeans were to drink any of that stuff.
That was pretty nasty of Ukraine to cut off drinking water to Crimea. Fresh water is most valuable commodity to sustain life. Maybe God is now punishing them with huge destruction of their airports, nuclear plants, apartment buildings, and normal life in Ukraine has come to a standstill.
Did they consider the harm it might do to the native snail darters? Or the indigenous Crimean dam frog?
No. Obviously God is supporting Putin. According to you.
My friends in SE Asia are complaining of incessant rain, sending me video’s of leaky roofs. Climate has been changing for 4.5 Billion years. We get ice age and then global warming over and over.

Where do they think they are, California?
Did you notice there is no unrest in Crimea after Russian takeover? Did it cross to your mind Crimean’s WANTED to join Russia? May be you do not know history of that region.

Duh!
Let’s not forget Russian disinformation efforts.
Those DAMn snail darters....Friggin’ dumb enviro nuts.
Interesting.
Very little coming in from the troubled southeast region, but this was obviously a huge objective for Russia.
I think the Kiev action is more of a faint and Putin plans on splitting Ukraine basically in half, then a settled truce of some sorts.
China should take heed.
Not every dam is for blockading water supply.
It’s one of the many things we encouraged and allowed Ukraine to do that lead to this war.
“Maybe God is now punishing them with huge destruction of their airports, nuclear plants, apartment buildings, and normal life in Ukraine has come to a standstill.”
Apparently, God has already punished you.
“find their way clear to dumping a few barrels of toxic sludge into that water way”
The very definition of political terrorism.
And all terrorists are scum.
Put on your big girl panties and get on the field to fight, kill and die amongst soldiers.
I would support any government who hunts and kills such as that.
Children. Old people. Pregnant women.
Innocents die from the likes of you.
How? I have already reached age 82, am in perfect health, do not need a single prescription, and making tons of money which I can never spend in my life time.
