Hi, Alan Ianson!

ak>> Yes it is true, Russia has spent billions of dollars to rise the
ak>> Crimea economy and infrastructure.

AI> Russia has spent billions bombing Ukraine. I don't think Russia did
AI> much of anything for Crimea. I have been reading the view of
AI> Crimean's (before the war) and they say that nothing has changed in
AI> their lives. I'm not sure what Crimeans think now.

You should learn facts but not to think them out.

ak>> Ukraine spent nothing for Crimea after getting independence.

AI> Crimea never got independence, Crimea was annexed by Russia. Two
AI> very different things.

I wrote about the Ukraine independence in 1991 -- wasn't it clear?

ak>> Ukraine indeed has cut off fresh water and electricity to
ak>> its "temporarily occupied citizens" - this only fact tells us how
ak>> Ukraine authority in Kiev is "care" about its citizens. No wonder
ak>> that they don't like this authority.

AI> How did Ukraine cut off fresh water from Crimea?

You know little about this conflict. In the time of the USSR a special
water channel to supply fresh water was dug from Dnepr river in Ukraine
to the Crimea (via the neck which connects Crimea with Ukraine).
Electricity until 2014 also was from Ukraine. Note, that after 2014
Russia has never cut off Ukraine from supplying it with Russian gas, oil
and electricity.

Bye, Alan!
