A large-scale water crisis is brewing in Crimea

According to the latest data, the situation in occupied Alushta is close to catastrophic.

It is in this part of the peninsula that the water reserves in the reservoirs will only last for the next 3 months.

What is important to understand is that for the last 3 weeks, the city has been operating on hourly water supply schedules, and the pressure in the system has been reduced to a minimum.

Recent events have led to a wave of panic among occupation officials.

The most interesting thing is that Putin's protege in Crimea himself lashed out with accusations against the Russian authorities, in particular the Russian Ministry of Defense.

According to Aksyonov, the defense ministry is massively withdrawing water for military facilities and training grounds.

Rumors are circulating in the occupiers’ political circles that Moscow is considering another “staff rotation” in the Crimean administration if the problem is not resolved by the end of the year. At the same time, officials from Alushta admit that there is no real plan of action: water supply depends only on rainfall and “internal reserves,” which are catastrophically lacking.

What is also important to understand is that in some areas of Alushta, people collect water from technical sources, and utility workers deliver water in tankers.

The water in them is not suitable for drinking, but there is no other option at the moment.

There is a high probability that Crimea will soon face a new large-scale water crisis — for the first time in the last 5 years.
