Water supply from the Dnieper to Crimea will be resumed today

However, it will take time to fill the North Crimean Canal with water, he noted. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti .

It's worth reminding that on the eve of the head of the Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov instructed to prepare the North Crimean Canal to receive water from the Dnieper. This source of water supply to the peninsula was blocked after the events of 2014, when Crimea became part of Russia. Prior to this, up to 85% of the peninsula's needs for fresh water were covered by water from the Dnieper. The Russian authorities previously allocated 50 billion rubles to solve the problem of the peninsula with drinking water.

It was possible to unblock the North Crimean Canal and restore water supply to the peninsula after the withdrawal of Russian troops to Kherson on February 24.
