“The Ukrainian side from 16.00 Moscow time on February 21 stopped the supply of water from the Western Filtration Station to the territory of the LPR,” RIA Novosti quotes the press service.

It is noted that the cause of the incident was damage to the main water conduit from the ZFS-3 pumping station on Ukrainian territory.

Earlier, the head of the LPR, Leonid Pasechnik, called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to recognize the independence of the republic.
