British intelligence explains how a strike on the Crimean bridge will affect the course of the war

Undermining the Crimean bridge will certainly affect the course of the war on the territory of Ukraine. Moreover, what happened will “hurt” Vladimir Putin personally, since he sponsored the construction of the crossing from his own pocket, and his childhood friend Arkady Rotenberg was the construction contractor. This is stated on Twitter of the British Ministry of Defense.

According to experts, as a result of the explosion on the Crimean bridge, two of the four road lanes were destroyed. Intelligence officials suggested that the overpass would continue to be able to pass traffic, but its capabilities would be limited.

London emphasizes that it was the Crimean Bridge that played a key role in transferring military equipment to the southern front.

The extent of damage to the railroad crossing is unknown, but any major disruption to its capacity is likely to affect Russia's already strained ability to maintain its forces in southern Ukraine, the report said.

At the same time, scouts emphasize that the explosion on the bridge occurred a few hours after the 70th anniversary of the Russian dictator.

British intelligence recalled that in recent months, Putin's former bodyguard, and now the commander of the National Guard, Viktor Zolotov, publicly assured that the bridge was safe.
