The Ukrainian government officially announced they were cutting off the water supply to Crimea.
“Ukraine stopped the supply of water resources to the Crimea, reported the web-site of the State Agency of Water Resources of Ukraine.
According to the announcement, the North Crimean Canal works in an operational mode, which is adjusted according to the needs of water consumers of Kherson oblast, due to the absence of constructive proposals on concluding contractual relationships for provision of water resource needs of the Crimean region on drinking water supply and irrigation.
Also, the Agency noted that the debt of water consumers of the Crimea to the Office of the North Crimean Canal totals 1.7 mln UAH for 2013 only.
In turn, Igor Vayil, Head of the Republican Committee on water engineering and irrigated agriculture, reported that the Crimean authorities received the letter from Ukraine with a proposal to renew the water supply after paying the debt, squaring of prices, and returning the machinery used in the water management system of the peninsula.”

“The Ukrainian government officially announced they were cutting off the water supply to Crimea.”
Yes, I posted that news when it was announced. The Russian intervention stopping the flow of water to blame the Ukrainians occurred before the Ukrainian decision to discontinue services until a new contract was negotiated and payment for past and future deliveries of water were agreed upon and secured. So your complaint misrepresents what happened.
