So, we don't know for sure who is responsible. I don't see how it aids the Russians for them to have potentially destroyed the water supply to the North Crimean Canal which provides irrigation to most of Crimea. Crimea can't be a bread basket without irrigation water.

"A 2015 study found that the canal had been providing 85% of Crimea's water prior to the 2014 shutdown." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Crimean_Canal
