According to Konstantinov, his principled position is that Crimea and Ukraine should not have any relationship until Kiev "recognizes Crimea as a community that made its historical choice and had the right to return to its homeland."
He also said that the Ukrainian authorities are still aggressive towards the inhabitants of the peninsula.
“Therefore, it is not worth talking about any water. They will pour sulfuric acid for us so that we can drink. Therefore, we must forget about it, ”said Konstantinov.
Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian delegation at the negotiations on Donbass, Leonid Kravchuk, spoke about the condition under which Kiev will resume water supply to Crimea.
As reported by "Kryminform", the general director of the state-owned enterprise "Water of Crimea" Vladimir Bazhenov reported that in Simferopol and 39 settlements of the Simferopol and Bakhchisarai regions, restrictions on water supply will begin to be applied. According to him, from September 7, it is planned to introduce an hourly water supply.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
