My point is, if Ukraine destroys water supplies in the Crimea, it would be very easy for the Russians to destroy water supplies in the Ukraine in retaliation.
I just don't want to hear about “Russian human rights abuses” after Ukraine get a taste of their own medicine.

Water rights are foundational areas of conflict. Shutting off the water supply to a community, small or large, domestic or agricultural, is never a morally acceptable position. The farmers in California face the same dilemma vis a vis state government policy that has devastated vast regions of crop land.

The “water supplies” here is an artificial channel Ukraine used to pump water into to enable agriculture in the Crimean peninsula, which doesn’t have enough water to support agriculture by itself.

The stop of pumping that water is not putting people into thirst. It is stopping the enemy from having agriculture in their occupied territories.

The human right abuses Russian invaders are committing in Ukraine is widespread murder, torture, rape and destruction.

Maybe you’re just looking for an excuse to ignore human rights abuses by Russian invaders?

No one cares what you don’t want to hear about.

Your statement contains an untruth, therefore your conclusion is flawed.

Kherson is not located in the Crimea. The Crimea is dependent upon water from outside the Crimea.

Russia has been accused of blowing up humanitarian aid convoys in the last 48 hours.

Don’t forget it practically left all of Mariupol without any drinking water for weeks after destroying the infrastructure there... And Russia’s answer to criticism was effectively to tell the 100,000 citizens to surrender or suck it up while the Red Cross itself says the Russian attacks were as much a part of the problem as Azov.

Ukraine should do what Russia is doing with the oil and gas. Turn the taps down to a trickle and hike the price up.
