New Maps Appear To Show Crimea Is Drying Up

New maps based on satellite imagery appear to show that vegetation on Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula is drying up at an alarming rate, raising new questions about water supplies in the Russian-annexed region.

The imagery was released on July 13 by the Ukrainian government ministry set up to oversee affairs in Crimea, which has all but been cut off from the Ukrainian mainland since being seized by Russia in March 2014.

The images show two color-coded maps of vegetation cover in Crimea and the mainland region immediately to the north of the peninsula, from 2016 and 2018.
