Crimean bridge destruction is quite real - Ukrainian armed forces captain

He said this on the Espreso TV channel.

“With the delivery of the equipment that was announced by the US, the destruction of the Crimean bridge is quite real. Destroying the Crimean bridge or damaging it will give us the opportunity to deprive the Russian group located in Crimea of this logistics artery,” Ryzhenko explained.

The captain of the Ukrainian Navy Reserve 1st rank reminded that Crimea is supplied by Russians from two directions.

“From the north, it is the Kalanchak area and the Crimean bridge. If the bridge is blocked, the entire Russian grouping, including the Russian Black Sea Fleet, is left without logistics. Of course, it is possible to supply logistics to Crimea by sea and air, but it will be completely different volumes,” Ryzhenko added.

• Brian Clarke, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute and Director of the Center for Defense Concepts and Technology (UK), described how Ukraine could destroy the Crimean Bridge.

• Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, spoke about the Russians' plans for the railroad that is being built in southern Ukraine from Rostov to Crimea.
