Is Russia invading Ukraine over water?

[SlightlyEccentric]

The claim: Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2014 through the Crimean peninsula. When peace talks came, Ukraine agreed to let Russia have Crimea (since Crimea was already majority ethnically Russian) but would shut off access to the fresh water supply from the Northern Crimean channel, effectively killing off most agriculture in the area.

This did not make Putin happy and made many attempts to get Ukraine to reopen the channel if Ukraine didn't comply, which has been pretty much ignored. About 2.2 million people live in Crimea and only have access to water for a short time every day.

Knowing this, would you say Putin has a more plausible claim to invade Ukraine or do you think its still not right for him to be invading?

Yes, Putin is justified

No, Putin is not justified

Oh how well this sat 3 months later :) Putin has three years left to live Bc he has cancer now. And Ukraine is winning on its own

You forget that Crimea is occupied and belongs to Ukraine, cutting of an artificial water channel to not feed the enemy is justified in a war. They are just returning the land to its normal state. If Russia wants water and care about those people they can provide it with that bridge they built. No one is blocking them from providing aid to the people.

They are lots of reasons why Russia is in Ukraine one of them I heard could be over water for Crimea. Crimea is a very important and strategic piece of land for the Russians. Ukraine is aware of this and is biding their time on the matter. There are just so many factors that are not taken into account on the entire situation.

No, a full scale invasion over a dam. And one you could just bomb. Their intentions are Istanbul. I will always say it. Russia wants Istanbul and they are slowly preparing. They want Crimea and more regions along the black sea for better naval vantage points for a war with Turkey. Russia's war justifications are all bullshit and made up nonsense to hide the truth.

[ChrisMaster69]

No, there is zero justification.

he’s just a psychotic bully

his country will soon be asking why

Not many summer holidays this year for Russians

[ragooo8]

No it's over the US moving in undermining the Russian economy, interfering in Russian politics and trying to kick the door in for us corporations to get into Russia

It would be funny to see all of Ukraine's water be taken by the Russians, that way Ukraine has no choice but to surrender to the Russian's, they all had this coming, Putin is not a bully he is a hero that should be praised.
