Oh the great russian rulers
What’s the plan here from Russia, wait them out with terrible conditions until they leave the occupied area? Why?
Donetsk before russian invasion: Beyonce performed at the country’s largest stadium
Donetsk after russian invasion: no water
The article isn’t very clear about the root cause of the watet shortages. One hint is:
>[Denis Pushilin] said a long-term solution would only come once Russia captures Slovyansk, one of the main cities in the Ukrainian-controlled part of the Donetsk region, and regains control of the original canal source.
The article [Not a drop to drink – Facing growing water shortages, civilians in occupied eastern Ukraine appeal to Putin for disaster relief](https://meduza.io/en/feature/2025/07/25/not-a-drop-to-drink) goes into more detail. E.g:
>Today’s water supply problems in southern and eastern Ukraine originate from Russia’s annexation of Crimea, which prompted Ukraine to block the North Crimean Canal, a key source of water for the peninsula.
