“We can only quote the words of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, that ‘the Crimean Bridge is a needless construction there,’” Yusov said.
Traffic on the Crimean Bridge has been blocked since the early hours of the morning after the Kremlin-appointed puppet leader on the peninsula, Sergei Aksenov, declared an “extraordinary event.”
Meanwhile, Russian state media reported that there was possible damage to the bridge’s pillars.
On Oct. 8, 2022, a powerful blast also rocked the Crimean Bridge, which Russia uses to transfer armored vehicles and personnel to southern Ukraine. As a result, several of its pillars fell into the Kerch Strait.
The Kremlin regime accused Budanov of organizing sabotage. In turn, the Ukrainian intelligence denied these statements, calling them “delusional.”
