Kerch Bridge is depressed

This infrastructure facility is Putin's weak point, a kind of chink in the Russian dictator’s armor

Last weekend, the Ukrainian segment of Facebook managed to discuss an interview with the head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Vasyl Maliuk, to NV magazine, where he spoke about the peculiarities of the successful attack on the Kerch Bridge last autumn. Successful not only because of the logistical problems of the occupying Russian forces, but also because this infrastructure facility is Putin's weak point, a kind of chink in the armor of Russian dictator.

Now, we have to understand that the FSB has already analysed this attack and understood how the tonnes of explosives were disguised.

That is why Maliuk is telling us the details that are known in the intelligence community (it is no secret that there is an exchange of information between the Ukrainian intelligence services and their Western counterparts). The head of the SBU does not give away professional secrets.

However, after Maliuk's interview, the personal psychologist of the Kerch Bridge (if there was one) would have to admit that his client was in constant depression and experiencing fatal expectations. Which, by the way, were exacerbated by the attack on the bridge by naval drones a few weeks ago.
