“You know that the Crimean peninsula has been asking for water for a very long time, and there is so much water there today that they don't even know what to do with it,” RIA Novosti quoted Danilov as saying.
In his speech, the NSDC secretary also called the Crimean cities of Kerch and Yalta "Ukrainian".
Earlier, a mobile detachment of military personnel of the Black Sea Fleet arrived in Kerch on off-road vehicles and carrying capacity to assist in eliminating the consequences of the region's flooding.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
