Electricity comes from the temporarily occupied territory to this station, and brine is pumped from the middle Sivash to the western part to supply activities both two plants,» Gdanov said.

First Deputy added as well that the watering plant’s territory would be sealed.

As the Crimean Tatar Mejlis head Refat Chubarov mentioned, both plants from the occupied peninsula «had received no licenses for using the mineral resources in terms of temporary occupation».
