This week, Ukrainian forces targeted the Crimean Bridge, vital for Russian troop supply, using underwater explosives. Ukrainian Security Service Lt. Gen. Vasily Malyuk stated that the bridge, opened by Putin in 2018, is a legitimate target for strikes against illegal Russian presence in Ukraine. The bridge sustained severe damage without civilian casualties. The attack follows prior strikes in 2022 and 2023, and comes shortly after a successful drone assault on multiple Russian air bases, with damage estimates reaching $7 billion for the Kremlin. Peace talks in Turkey yielded little progress amid ongoing conflicts.
The targeted bridge is used by Russia to supply their troops. Illegal objects of the Russian Federation have no place on the territory of our state.
The bridge was hit with 2,500 pounds of underwater explosives this week. No civilians were hurt in the blast.
The extent of the damage is not clear, but Ukrainian officials claim the damage will cost the Kremlin $7 billion.
Ukrainian forces said they hit five separate airfields and destroyed dozens of aircrafts, including the A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22M aircraft.
