‘This war will last,’ warns France’s President Macron on Ukraine
The world must brace for a long war between Russia and Ukraine after Moscow launched an invasion of its pro-Western neighbour, French President Emmanuel Macron warned on Saturday.
“I can tell you one thing this morning it is that this war will last,” Macron’s told France’s annual agriculture fair.
“This crisis will last, this war will last and all the crises that come with it will have lasting consequences,” Macron added, warning: “We must be prepared”.
With the war and sanctions against Russia risking damage for specific sectors in France, notably the wine industry, Macron vowed a “plan of resilience” to help them cope.

Not sure in the UK, but on the continent a lot of the drinking water is bottled. Drinking from the tap can be unhealthy.
That raises another question -- how much water has/will Kiev stockpile in the event of a siege?
Ugly.
Cheers

Before you "Yipee ky yay" it too much ...... I should have also said that apparently, one of the first things the Russians have done is restore the water supply.
My apologies if I have now deflated your "let's blow everyone up to smithereens"
Why did Ukraine cut off water to Crimea?
2014—2021. After the Russian annexation of Crimea, Ukrainian authorities greatly cut the volume of water flowing into Crimea via the canal, citing a huge outstanding debt on water supplies owed by the peninsula. This caused the peninsula's agricultural harvest which is heavily dependent on irrigation to fail in 2014.
