Dmytro Razumkov, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, said that restoring water supplies to Crimea was theoretically possible, but it was necessary to understand what concessions Russia was prepared to make.
He made the relevant statement at a press conference on Friday, commenting on the statement of Oleksiy Arestovych, spokesman of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG), who argued that concessions could be made on the issue of water supply to Crimea, UNIAN correspondent reports.

“In theory everything is possible, but we need to understand all the issues. Because it’s not just the issue of water supply in Crimea, but he also made some remarks that someone will make some concessions. Which concessions? Then sit down and discuss. Because it’s just talking for the sake of talking. It’s unprofessional and I try not to comment on unprofessional things,” the Speaker said.
