Putin will use Crimean bridge story to try to reformat the FSB - Feigin

This was said by the Russian opposition politician Mark Feigin on the air of the "Studio Zahid with Antin Borkovsky" program on the Espreso TV channel.

"Everything has been blamed on Ukraine for a long time, but there are peculiarities here. Indeed, this story itself is becoming even more nebulous. It would seem that the motivation of the Ukrainian special services is to hit the bridge, this is, of course, one of the targets, the bridge is a strategic interest, it already mobilized, weapons are being transported, supplies are being carried out," he said.

Feigin said that it is natural that the Crimean Bridge is a military target.

"Although Putin declared that this was a civilian target, what kind of civilian is it when you use it to transport newly mobilized soldiers, military equipment, ammunition? Therefore, sabotage actions are appropriate. But now the details are beginning to be revealed: were they transported from Odessa through Armenia - how through Armenia?  Some Armenian business that was involved in this - it's also strange how such a truck drove onto the bridge, as if there were hundreds of kilograms of explosives. Again, all this reminds of such a story that someone missed it, someone knew something, someone did not know," he added  politician.

He compared the explosions on the Crimean bridge with the explosions of buildings in 1999.

"There was a double agent Achimez Gochiyaev, who apparently signed papers on cooperation with the FSB, but at the same time was an Islamist separatist, and who knows when he was real - in the FSB or in connections with the Islamic underground in Chechnya. So here -  now it will become clear: what kind of truck is this - who is he? And the one who gave him the cargo? Because we know all about it only from sources from the FSB, and what conscious person will believe that the FSB is telling the truth, that it  will report how everything really was? No one will believe it. Therefore, even if we imagine that this sabotage was carried out with the participation of the Ukrainian special services, then, of course, Putin will use it in domestic politics to identify opportunities for reformatting the FSB (it is obvious that the heads of the Krasnodar  FSB, allegedly Crimean, the management of operatives)", Feygin noted.

The politician is sure that the explosions will be blamed on someone who is not involved in it.

"Putin has already transferred the bridge under full control of the FSB - providing security, and business, and cargo, and supplies. He handed it over to specific generals. The FSB will no longer deal only with security - it will deal with all this business. Plus, you need to find a scapegoat, and not just any  Russian Guardsman who checked the car - it is already clear where the Russian Guardsman was, who checked the car and did not find explosives there, that the FSB made public the video recordings. I believe that someone will be made the scapegoat who is not involved in this at all," he concluded  .
