hello. kirill vyshinsky is with you, and this is a typical novorossiya program with our name. everything has been said, we are talking about the territory that has returned to its historical roots - novorossiya with the help of a careful look at history. we will try to reveal the originality of her present day, find in it typical features and recognizable signs of the past. and that's what we'll talk about today. without water, how soviet water pipelines became a means of pressure on novorossiya. how to deal with water blackmail
11:34 am
a conversation with an expert of the war program through the eyes of those who live on it documentary films about donbass at the rt tv channel festival heroes? novorossia is predominantly a steppe region with limited water resources , dry and hot climate at the beginning of the development of these territories in the 18th-19th centuries , land cultivation technologies were aimed at maximizing the preservation of moisture in local black soil in the 20th century. in soviet times. here, irrigation systems and canals were actively built to transfer water from the abandoned dnieper and tributaries of the donor. to provide water to the donetsk region, in which there are no large rivers. in the fifties of the last century , the seversky donetsk canal of donbass was built into the water along
11:35 am
him from the tributary. the don bone of the kalmius river was pumped by a system of powerful pumps. the length of this unique hydraulic structure, 133 km , was built in the 1960s to save the regions of the kherson region and crimea from drought. water was taken from a specially built kakhovka reservoir in the lower reaches of the dnieper, thanks to which moisture-loving rice was grown in the north of crimea until 2013. the channel provided the peninsula. about 80% of the volume of water intake, the vulnerable position of the region. in novorossiya. ukrainian authorities took advantage after their self-determination in 2014, attacks on the infrastructure created back in soviet times were practiced to cause maximum damage. water blockade methods have become
11:36 am
a new type of weapon in april 2014 , the water supply from the dnieper to the crimean peninsula was cut off , the canal bed was covered with sandbags, as a result , serious damage was caused to the agriculture of the northern crimea, despite all efforts. for alternative water supply in 2021, during a long-term drought, the shortage was already felt on the entire peninsula they began to give according to a strict schedule only after the start of their own and the liberation of the territory through which the canal passed; it was filled with water; at the beginning in ukrainian-controlled slavyansk there was a purposeful blackout, pumping stations
11:37 am
for hot water supply were out of order. in donetsk, they stopped almost immediately cold food began to be served in doses and according to the schedule every three days for 2-3 hours, water carriers were launched around the city, a stable water supply of the population remained personally an insignificant territory. the dpr, where there are underground sources, partially solved the problem of water supply to the donbass through the construction of water. a new hydraulic structure was laid across the territory of the rostov region and the donetsk people's republic about how water came to donetsk from the house in the plot of efimova tell us exactly how we fill the system, including the pump. just a couple of commands, on the radio , pressing a button on the control panel water went hundreds of cubic meters from the don river are pumped into huge tanks, which
11:38 am
were empty before. by the beginning of the test launch of the water conduit from the rostov region to the donbass, the painstaking, but constructional standards, was preceded by the rapid work of the shock construction of the new century. back in mid- february. there were metal frames. today, a full-fledged pontoon water intake station is launched, the first of the pumping stations has beaten the heart of the conduit, rostov-on-don. seversky donetsk donbas ahead gradual filling of storage tanks with water hydraulic tests, of course, while this is a technical test run, specialists will have to assess whether everything is in order with the equipment and the annual track itself. but it's 200 km/h. excessive pressure will be specially applied in order to find out all the vulnerable places, for example, in place from the seam mark, donbass almost 300,000 cubic meters per day from the rostov region, water will sow to the donbass through two duplicate water lines. the don
11:39 am
is fed by a dry canal seversky donets was built in the soviet years specifically for the water supply of donbass from the neighboring dnieper ukraine blocked it immediately after it lost it, mariupol, like in donetsk , is now in an extremely difficult situation with water, and mariupol now receives water exclusively from e, the kalchik reservoir, which is located near the city of e, but before it was a reserve source of water supply, mariupol, and back in august it was said that the water in this reservoir would be enough for about a year or the conditions for its rational use of a water conduit from home became an unprecedented project for russia, for the first time it is being built so short deadlines for objects of such complexity, as a rule, several years are allotted ; hundreds of enterprises from all over the country are involved in this entire russian construction project. and, of course, in the donbas itself, only the khartsyzsk plant, for example, produced 30 km of pipes for the water conduit. well, the alchevsk iron and steel works
11:40 am
supplied steel sheets. depending on the thickness of the metal , we adjust the speed. an order for production at this plant was received at the end of november and within a month. more than 45.000 t ahead of schedule, it was completed in the production of large diameter pipes. pro also for water networks, and for gas pipelines and oil pipelines the whole team. uh is ready to work for a common cause , ready to raise production to increase production of problem products. donetsk region, who are familiar to crimea in 2014, the peninsula also found itself under a water blockade after the blocking of the north crimean
11:41 am
canal by ukraine incredible efforts were made man-made rivers ; according to the scientist every year. everything is lower, it’s not like spoonfuls of the canal, as all the crimean canal did in their time, and then they suffered. uh, with this we lay down with films with losses from y and so on, so with evaporation, when we lose half of the water supplied, which goes into the lower horizons of the earth's crust and so on, causing flooding, swamping and so on. here , the most reasonable rational is to conduct these water conduits and give this water to yuh earlier in donbass has already launched several smaller widows, for example, the chernovsky water conduit under the debaltse to the volnovakha facilities rovenky and dokuchaevsk, as well as the line from the khanzhonkovsky reservoir, the seversky donetsk canal, however, the pipes in the houses must still withstand the water supply. they are mostly
11:42 am
rotten. water there is no more than 25%, it is very optimistic. the figure, taking into account the waterfalls that we have and which reach almost 60% in individual sections, and often this is in fact, the construction of new networks is one of the most important tasks for the entire donbass last year, we modernized , repaired and restored more than 250 facilities related to the water supply system this year. we have the same serious tasks for more than 300 km of networks. we have to restore more than 100 areal objects, we have to do it on average for almost a million donetsk now. about 60,000 cubic meters of water per day, for comparison, until 2021, this figure reached 300,000 cubic meters, while water for people is diluted in tanks, or served on a tight schedule, but even then the residents still have to haul buckets up to
11:43 am
the upper floors, the water just won't rise. in the city of donetsk , about 3 km 200 and 3.200 km of water supply networks of various diameters are currently serving our company. uh, and just to fill them just to fill them uh, you need 180.000 m³ of water, so you can imagine what 60.000 is? how do we have to dodge in order to somehow supply water to people to partially solve this problem water conduits from the rostov region should be put into operation, however, the authorities. the donetsk republic openly admits this after all. not panacea, we can get ah, here's water, but it won't cover all the needs.
11:44 am
i’ll tell you, if we didn’t build a water conduit from the don now, if we didn’t start building it, then in six months we wouldn’t have water at all to completely provide water. hey, here's our baby. we can only liberate the territory, but this is a completely different task, and hundreds of people are actively working on its solution. thousands of soldiers in the zone of svao anna and the seventh valery savelyev anastasia popova is a typical novorossiya. we will talk about how the water supply to novorossia was used as a means of pressure, as an actual weapon, with our permanent expert, historians and political scientist alexander vasiliev. sasha good afternoon. hello in the middle ages, shutting off water was one of the most effective means. e during the siege of cities or fortresses, but then there was no humanitarian law. today
11:45 am
this tool is again used as a weapon. we returned to the middle ages and if in the middle ages, and in response to such a siege, yes, there the knights could go out, so to speak , line up in the field and fight with each other in general, the surrounding population, so to speak, not so. it was all a burden, then, of course, today it looks like. completely different donbass, uh, experienced, but huge problems with water. yes, according to the supply. and well, it didn’t start right away, yes, that is , one could refer there to some mutual moments, so to speak, and so on, but in the fourteenth year, of course, of course, and water the energy blockade of the crimea and hmm , moreover, if, again, if the energy blockade, ukraine at least somehow tried. these are some incomprehensible activists, or some ukrainian extremists. yes, then the ukrainian state was blocked into the water in the crimean canal and refused on principle to even discuss the possibility there. hmm for money not
11:46 am
for money, how can you direct it, so to speak, moreover? what is the logic? yes, that's what he said about the siege of medieval methods of war. but uh, and about humanitarian law. yes, because we are constantly we hear all sorts of statements about the occupation, which means that crimea is constantly rural there, he says, our people are there. they are waiting for us. there are more of these people. yes, they kept northern crimea without water, it suffered very seriously. from all these types of blockade, including, of course, from water back in the fourteenth year, what are they talking about? e that ukraine already then, again, and donbass blackmailed, because, and when there was, well, some kind of military opportunity to seize mariupol, in august september of the fourteenth year. yes, agreed that then ukraine would, but blocked the same e-channel. e, seversky donetsk donbass , which supplies water, including, and to the house of mariupol, water is supplied and , in fact, a huge region then, yes.
11:47 am
i would be completely without water. ukraine would be with its bare hands, could, but take it. here is this blackmail already then turned on. and now he was involved, the most surprising thing is that, but in general, here again , there is nothing about international humanitarian law at all, not that there is no reaction to it. yes most, uh the townsfolk. there, some journalists, politicians in the west, do not even have a crime about the city, which in pre-war times had a million inhabitants and a significant part of which remained, and from their own land. doesn't want to go anywhere. yes, the agglomeration is even more on e, in fact, it remains without a normal water supply and water. after all, it’s not only , uh, there’s a five-way one, yes, it’s both technological and municipal heating systems associated with the winter donbass, including with this experienced very big problems. that is such a complex issue. you spoke about the reaction of the international community. the amazing thing is, for he really wasn't on this one actually.
11:48 am
the declared genocide by creating unbearable conditions there is no water, but at the same time, uh , the international reacts strangely , while everyone was silent, living conditions, while the warrants of the international criminal court immediately appeared. how to explain it they look absurd. what's in including are there just children? yes, uh, children's health camps in the summer and everything is in the north, the caucasus is beautiful mountainous there. which involves the transfer of children from one community to another. well, it is understood that russian children in the donbas yes turn out to be, and somewhere in a pioneer camp in u-e
11:49 am
territory means other subjects for the russian federation, this is the way out of relations, which means that some terrible crimes are being committed, their identity is being changed, and so on and so forth. in fact , we know who was involved in a systematic, a change of identity. if these children are especially here, that is, and those territories there of the zaporozhye kherson regions, which are really absolutely completely russian-speaking and communicate in russian in everyday life in the family, but were deprived by the state, and the opportunity to study their native language in kindergarten at school to receive on him higher education. yes, here it is now, now, uh, he is blaming russia for this, and the main thing is that they fall on the western audience, and that ukraine left an entire region without water, for example, without a normal water supply. yes , they just don’t know about it, they don’t know about it, donetsk received water from the rostov region on the new year, but due to the fact that the old soviet canal. it is drained and
11:50 am
cannot supply water. well, let's hope that sooner or later this will happen and the water supply through the soviet canal will be restored, what then to do with this new year will not be whether there is such a duplication of infrastructure, if we are talking about the water supply of donbass, this must be understood. we are in the first part. yes, we talked about humanitarian problems, which, of course , are the most acute, but let's talk broadly, so to speak, and the industry, primarily in the donbass, was the main consumer of these water pipeline systems, because it is well known. now this channel is wide. and seversky donetsk donbass there is a channel, which, along the e, dnepropetrovsk region, basically runs a little poltava and further into kharkov. this is a canal that led the non-provincial water for the water supply of donbass, and this soviet time was already there in the brezhnev times. quite late another canal was built. yes, that's because this channel is after the military one, and roughly speaking, in the era
11:51 am
of stagnation into the next channel, because these industrial giants of the donbass consumed a huge amount of water, and therefore, we all believe and hope that that the industrial enterprises of donbass that this is the main function of this region. uh, in russia, here is the industrial heart, yes, which there, at the end of the 19th century, it began to beat. uh, this function will be in demand, and without a full-fledged water supply, of course, this will not happen. and the more will be reborn. eh, donbass. and, of course, the greater the consumption will be, and i do not think that one or the other will be superfluous. here is the infrastructure . sasha thank you very much for a very detailed story. 9 years of war in the donbass in the heart of novorossia not only changed the appearance of cities and towns beyond recognition, but also led to a deep internal transformation
11:52 am
many people, civilians, perhaps the most urbanized region of europe, have become civilians. so in the jargon of the military they call those who have been fired upon without any strategic purpose since 2014, who, like a human shield in 2022, were covered during the battles for mariupol lisichansk and other occupied cities, miners and metallurgy, businessmen and public utilities men and women of donbass became militias and volunteer defenders of their homes and events in the news place , plots and reports from the line of combat contact often remain the fate of people, as if in the shade, but not too big. filled with deep tragedy and not always able to fit into short reports
11:53 am
, our colleagues from the rt tv channel at the festival of documentary films about donbass decided to show what is difficult to tell in the news in the center of each film is a poignant story about the heroes and their destinies, the military doctors who liberated mariupol, volunteers saving lives under bullets, who became earthly angels for the abandoned and destitute military correspondents. whose texts sound louder than any cannonade. all of them, wherever they were born, and with what whatever they do in their lives have already become heroes. more about the time of the heroes in the plot of olga mokhova right here. many don't even understand. uh, what really happens there when you, uh, leave moscow . we go by car and arrive in the donbass, you cross the border to the donbass, you find yourself in some other dimension. there are completely
11:54 am
different people living there. i have never been to ukraine. i have never been to donbass. in general, in principle, they have there, no friends, no relatives. other reality other people but real life is like that, if you can briefly sum up the reviews of those who filmed the stories of people in the donbass, daria ganieva is not a military commissar and not a documentary filmmaker, she first went to mariupol in july 2022 with volunteers at the invitation of the russian orthodox church, so as not from tv and not from social media to see what's going on. in mariupol , people have the feeling that, like, they have gone through all the worst for them, nothing hmm , they are already afraid, as if there is nothing and, on the contrary, they look at life with tremendous optimism. these women are called by their sons who say that everything is in order with me, no one is forcibly deporting me. we laughed with her without staged shots, they retreat, following their heroes. no matter what tasks the shadows perform and, of course, only direct speech
11:55 am
without cuts and adjustments trust for trust is the only way in the donbass that you can win over an interlocutor. no, he lives his own life. we stopped in body armor caucasians. we go down the street and look. ah, the boys are playing football on the roadway, old people here and there, grandmothers standing at bus stops became so ashamed, we stopped. of course, we filmed all this , because we must be living together with the inhabitants of donbas hmm, fatigue from fear is impossible, because it is impossible to be afraid forever, the habit of living under the cannonade of war, how fate will dispose of such an everyday philosophy here, as director oleg shared his observations nekishev, in addition to courage, the inhabitants of donbass are distinguished by a not vague concept of the motherland; they know for sure that they are defending one of our heroes. e. machine gunner on the ground, he is just fighting went, because in the fourteenth year, when the shelling of donbass began, he flew in. uh, that
11:56 am
was exactly what bombed his house and he already had a little daughter at that time. yeah, uh, and she comes out and says, daddy, who did that? it is necessary to punish him, and i say, i understood him. the commander of the medical platoon, natalya from strekoza, the son left to fight as soon as he turned 18. now, after being wounded, he is preparing for the fifth operation. it would seem that women do not belong here, they should hate war, but they are here so that it ends faster. i don't i love small arms, i really don't like them, because i have seen too many wounds over the years. i do not know even. will i be able to shoot a man, although in order to protect my life, i have to do it. maybe opposite us are the same mobilization people as ours. yes, the guys who lived a peaceful life
11:57 am
, only there in another dimension, whether it be mariupol donetsk or severodonetsk life and death literally go hand in hand, but death does not become more familiar from this. just every moment of life. here they appreciate much more nearby is a girl, pancakes, fried in hell. i'm afraid they buried him. here, here is the baby, fed the shard, the newborn time has arrived. how old is the baby for a week? wow? these are the heroes of kapets, yes a month. and the truth only remains to be surprised how in mariupol , under shelling, the zoo workers counted the dead animals and took care of the survivors, as in severodonetsk, the cook marina, having lost her home and her own cafe, lives at the temple and cooks soup for other equally disadvantaged citizens.
11:58 am
and this is mutual assistance, mutual assistance - this is probably a common thing that i saw in severodonetsk and mariupol. this, of course, is also worth a lot. we often don’t know who our neighbors are, everyone knows everyone there, while the donbass region is not homogeneous and the inhabitants of one city, as it turned out, are very different from the inhabitants of another, daria admits, many children left for europe, they arrange their lives there, study, but i between i didn't see any rivalry between them. i don’t know the cries that you did the wrong thing there , they communicate, just adequate people. i think always find a common language here. i want to return, they say, journalists, volunteers move here to live and help. of course, working hands in the donbass will definitely not be superfluous either in construction or in health care, they are convinced that the reality is here, but the local mariupol residents refuse to offer to help with the departure , they say. this is hometown. so
11:59 am
12:00 pm
court yes, the case of donald trump was arrested, but released the same evening. what is the accusation of the former president of the united states as he himself commented on the trial and what forecasts do lawyers and political scientists make , the residential building of the boarding school was damaged, several more social facilities. new shelling of donetsk and other cities and towns of donbass what are the consequences and what is the situation? fell near the power plant of ukraine
