We remind that earlier the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia claims that Kyiv violated its human rights obligations, enshrined in international documents on water for Crimea. This is emphasized in the statement of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Mariya Zakharova, who called the cessation of the supply of Dnieper water to the peninsula a “water blockade”.

“Ukraine is a party to a number of international human rights treaties, therefore, it voluntarily undertook the obligation to respect, protect, and implement the human rights enshrined in these documents, including those listed above. Thus, the deliberate introduction of a water blockade by Kyiv can be qualified as a violation of its human rights obligations enshrined in international agreements”,- the Russian TASS news agency quoted Zakharova.
Earlier, the First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Emine Dzheppar said that the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine on the issue of water supply to the residents of Crimea remains unchanged. According to her, “Russia is an occupying country. Russia bears full responsibility for the situation in Crimea in accordance with international humanitarian law.”
