Russia again using Crimean bridge to move military hardware

Petro Andriushchenko, the head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, wrote about this on his Telegram channel.

"The Crimean bridge. We are recording the transfer of military cargo. Due to the non-operational railway line through the occupied Zaporizhzhia region for over a month, the Russians are forced to return to the military exploitation of the bridge," the message says.

According to Andriushchenko, the Crimean bridge is once again not just a "totem," but a military target for the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

• On September 21, 2025, the Ukrainian special unit Ghosts struck two Russian Be-12 Chaika anti-submarine aircraft in temporarily occupied Crimea for the first time.
