Obviously not easy enough for you to provide the link.
What I see so far looks like an attempt at damage control.

I'll remind you that the pro-Western Ukrainian governments held the water blockade for 8 years causing quite a lot of damage to Crimeans whom it ostensibly considers Ukrainian citizens under Russian occupation.
I'll quote the article titled "Ukraine’s water blockade of Crimea should stay, because it’s working" from "EuroMaidan Press"[0]:
"72% of the water from the North Crimean Channel was used for the irrigation of crops. And the absence of this water today causes difficulties for food production. ... in the last 50 years, when the irrigation functioned, the peninsula received a new layer of fertile land. However, in the last 5 years, this soil has not been moistened enough and is already degraded."
It's worth the reading if you haven't read it the first time I provided the link to it.
With this track record it's quite easy to imagine more drastic measures to solve the Crimean problem.
It's not a new thing either, here is a leader[1] of the Ukrainian nationalists (infamous UNA-UNSO) saying "Crimea will be Ukrainian or uninhabited" [2].

- racional 2y agoObviously not easy enough for you to provide the link. I think you know how to find these things on your own if you want to. Korchynsky There's a reason he's not only completely out of the mainstream in Ukrainian politics, but has been under investigation by the MIA and subject to arrest warrants. His positions and songs have nothing to do with government policy. I don't see any sense of balance to your thinking or arguments here. When cornered on factual grounds, you just change subject and try to come up with something even more provocative to distract with. It's boring and pointless, and completely against site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). So I'm going to have to move on.
