Ukraine’s SBU comments on its involvement in Crimean bridge bombing

Vasyl Malyuk shared the information in an interview with Dmytro Komarov.

"In accordance with international law and the customs and traditions of warfare, given that it was a logistics route that we had to cut off to the enemy, we took certain measures, respectively. However, I won't give you any details," the SBU chief said.

According to Malyuk, Russia is currently conducting a pseudo-investigation into the situation with the Crimean bridge.

The SBU head added that Russia has imprisoned more than 20 of their fellow citizens and "incriminates each of them with some complicity in the whole process."

Malyuk called for not discussing this situation, but "to observe all this.”

He also said that the successful attack of marine drones on the ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol Bay last October was a planned special operation by the SBU.

• On October 8, an explosion occurred on the Crimean bridge and a fire broke out, the Russian occupation authorities reported the deaths and accused Ukraine of the explosion.

• The Russian Federal Security Service accused Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence of the explosion on the Crimean Bridge and announced that it had allegedly detained 8 suspects. The FSB claims that in early August, the explosives were sent from Odesa to Bulgaria, from there to Armenia, Georgia, and then to Russia, from where they arrived in occupied Crimea.
