At the end of December, the news that the so-called “Sevastopol union of industrialists and entrepreneurs” publicly asked the “governments” of the occupiers in the city and Crimea to appeal to the Kremlin “for a federal-level solution to the issue of restoring the dam on the Kakhovka Reservoir, followed by the reopening of the North Crimean Canal to deliver Dnieper water to the peninsula via the Mizhgorne Reservoir” went relatively unnoticed.
This peculiar “rebellion on the knees” was then a clear reaction to the “new truth” announced a week earlier by the criminal Crimean speaker Vladimir Konstantinov, that the peninsula allegedly “does not need Dnieper water.”
However, at the end of December, in the same occupied Sevastopol, the local “arbitration court” showed what the occupiers really wanted, “terminating a contract” from October 2024 with the local structure “Sevastopolavtodor-22” for the “construction of water treatment plants and water pipelines in four districts of the city,” worth approximately one billion rubles.
As follows from the “decision,” the “government-controlled” “United directorate of capital construction” has already transferred more than 232 million rubles to the “water builders,” which the aforementioned “firm,” with “capital” of 10 thousands rubles and three “registered” employees, will clearly never repay, and the “arbitration decision” was clearly needed to “deflect the blow” from the Sevastopol gauleiter’s entourage, who had profited handsomely from the kickbacks from the fake “contract.”
The reason for such “exceptional generosity” for the “sole supplier” was the beneficiary of “Sevastopolavtodor-22,” the previously described Krasnodar swindler Vladimir Levchenko, who also controls the Sevastopol “firm” “Demetra,” as well as “Dorstroykuban-19,” “Vesta,” and so on. We wrote that Levchenko, through the aforementioned shell companies, would launder 10 billion rubles for the same “authorities” from the “construction of a tunnel between General Petrov and Pozharova Streets” in Sevastopol.
And his “Demetra” has already received 25 “contracts” worth 3.3 billion rubles from “city authorities” since 2023, the funds being laundered through the “department of transport” and its “daughter.”
Levchenko, through the “Vesta” company, had previously misappropriated at least 5 billion rubles for “Sevastopol projects,” including the “design” of the same tunnel and the “construction of an access road to a future medical cluster,” which the occupiers never launched.
Recall that the occupiers themselves acknowledged that on the occupied peninsula,
more than half of the water is lost in the distribution networks due to their deterioration, and complained about a “lack of funds for repairs.”
As is now obvious, the occupiers do have money, but they prefer to spend it not on improving water supply systems, but exclusively on fraudulent schemes in this area.
What the occupiers’ complaints about the North Crimean Canal, the Mizhgorne Reservoir, and water shortages have to do with this is a rhetorical question.
