Gloomy over the inhabitants of the peninsula called the termination by the Kiev authorities of water supplies to Crimea the head of the regional Bulgarian national-cultural autonomy Ivan Abazher. In his opinion, this issue should be discussed at the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly. He proposed to present the reaction of the inhabitants of the European Union to the closure of the Danube River, which passes through ten states, one of the countries blocked. How would the other nine feel? ". "It is blasphemy to cut off Dnipro water", he stressed, RIA Novosti writes.. He recalled that Kiev also arranged an energy and food blockade, blocked transport and information channels connecting part of Russia and Ukraine. "From the side of the neighboring state there is disinformation, substitution of concepts for Crimeans. Freedom of movement is violated, because Ukraine prevents crossing of the border with Crimea by foreigners, "said the politician.
Contrary to the protests of the Ukrainian delegation, Abazger spoke at the annual OSCE conference on human rights in Poland, where he spoke about interethnic relations in the Crimea. In the forthcoming speech on Monday, he was going to raise the topic of the water blockade of the peninsula. Prior to the reunification of the Crimea with Russia, Nezalezhnaya provided about 85% of the peninsula's needs for fresh water. However, it then blocked the North Crimean Canal, which runs from the Dnieper.
