The Russians are attempting to “resolve” the water supply deadlock in the temporarily occupied territories of Donbas in their own way — they intend to use mine water to meet the needs of the population.
The puppet government of the quasi-state Donetsk People’s Republic, led by “Deputy Prime Minister” Andriy Chertkov, plans to “purify” mine water from at least five mines. However, the Kremlin’s henchmen are undeterred by the fact that unauthorized pumping of mine water does not create just a local problem but poses a potential environmental disaster. It threatens nature, human health, and the stability of entire regions.
Meanwhile, the Kalmius River has turned into a floating landfill for industrial waste, household garbage, and sewage. This is happening against the backdrop of a severe freshwater crisis in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
You can stop the policy of the Russian invaders and their collaborators by publicizing their crimes and demanding their international prosecution. You can also participate in rallies in support of Ukraine or donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
