Ukraine Halts Canal Water Supply To Crimea -- ITAR Tass
KIEV, April 26 (Itar-Tass) - Ukraine had closed sluices of the North Crimean Canal, halting water supply from the Dnieper River to the peninsula, Ukraine's UNIAN news agency reported on Saturday.
Crimea received 85% of fresh water through the canal, which was built in 1961-1971. It streches from the Khakhovka Reservoir to Kerch.
Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Aksyonov told the CrimeaInform news agency that restrictions on the supply of water to Crimea is an act of sabotage.
“Ukraine’s act of sabotage to limit the supply of water to the republic through the North Crimean Canal is nothing but a deliberate action against Crimeans,” he said.

My Comment: Kiev is denying reports that they have cut-off the water supply .... but everyone in the region is now tweeting pictures of dry canals. What's my take .... Kiev is sending their own message .... you cut off the natural gas .... we cut off the water.

Somebody in Kiev has not thought this out. The gates to open for the water are less than a hundred miles from the Crimea the valves for the gas are in Russia and may as well be on the moon for the Ukrainians.
