Crimea water dispute: Russia struggles to supply region

The North Crimea Canal in southern Ukraine used to supply the majority of the peninsula’s water needs.
Ukraine built dams on the canal after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, saying it would only allow water to flow when Russia ends its occupation.
Russia has been transporting water in, but rationing has reportedly become worse with the arrival of tens of thousands of additional Russian troops.
The area has now become a potential flashpoint between Kyiv and Moscow.
