Aksyonov accuses the US of organizing water blockade of Crimea
Sergey Aksyonov, head of the annexed Crimea, wrote on Facebook that the water blockade of the Crimean peninsula is part of the West’s anti-Russia strategy.
“Ukraine’s policy is not determined in Kyiv, but in Washington and other western capitals. The water blockade of Crimea is part of the West’s anti-Russia strategy. That’s why, regardless of the reasons given by Ukrainian officials, the decision to end or to continue the blockade will be made far from the banks of the Dnieper,” he wrote.
According to Aksyonov, “attempting to deprive more than 2 million people of fresh water is essentially a form of state terrorism”. However, the water blockade has not caused the expected damage, he added: there is no water shortage, an increase in tourism is expected, and local agriculture has adapted to the new conditions.
Aksyonov remarked that the turnover of the government in Ukraine does not guarantee an improvement in quality. “The presidents, politicians and party signboards may change, but the approaches do not,” he wrote.
Previously Aksyonov announced that the Crimean government would soon publish an assessment of the extent to which being part of Ukraine damaged Crimea. He claimed that most of the funds in the federal and regional programs are being used to “overcome the devastation inherited from Ukraine”.
In March, Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairperson of Russia’s State Duma, proposed to collect from Kyiv the damage suffered by Crimea as a result of being part of Ukraine. The Crimean government later released its preliminary results, estimating a total loss of profit of 2.5 trillion rubles (around $38 billion). The work group also estimated that the 2015 energy blockade of Crimea caused 1 billion rubles ($15 million) in damage and a further 1.5 billion rubles ($22.7 million) in lost profit.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin responded that if Moscow demands compensation for the damage, then Kyiv will ask to be compensated for “centuries of occupation”.

If that is the case Mr 4%, why are you whining about it? Your trash invaded Crimea, your trash are responsible for water, not Ukraine.

What he forgot to say is, there’s water but it’s too salty to drink, tourism is up from 26 people to 34, and agriculture has adapted from the best grapes in the world to cactus farming….

I think we get paid per click but I don’t think we’re getting Google ads, do you? On WP we should be getting at least 20 cents per click. I also signed us up for referral in case someone uses our site as a format to start their own WP site. I think we get like $40 each. We can click our own ads too. It would be wonderful to send PayPal money to the Vets Hospital in L’viv, or another charity.

Yep, all I’ve seen for plug-ins is the Jetpack stuff we already have. I got the Google package when I got the rest of it but I think it is bundled in with the Jetpack stuff. It’s a little confusing but it will get easier as we go. I think we need to find a way to get the Social Media stuff connected and noticed. Are you following this site on your Facebook site?

The last part is interesting from WP:
Not every ad served will result in a paid impression. This can happen when:
•A visitor is using an ad blocker, preventing ads from showing.
•A visitor leaves your site before ads can fully load in their browser.
•There were no advertisers who bid higher than the minimum price required to display their ad.
