The Armed Forces of Ukraine explained why they do not hit on the Crimean bridge
The Crimean bridge connects the mainland of the Russian Federation and the peninsula.
Ukrainian Army General Mykola Malomuzh said that the Crimean bridge connecting the mainland of the Russian Federation and the peninsula would not be attacked until "a certain moment." He also clarified that there are several reasons why the Ukrainians have not yet destroyed it. The head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine (2005-2010), General of the Army of Ukraine Mykola Malomuzh, spoke about this in an interview with Glavred .
He stressed that a strike on the crossing could provoke an escalation of Russian aggression.
Firstly, our missiles, even those received from the West, do not reach the bridge, so it will be difficult for us to deliver a powerful blow to it. After all, one or more missiles will not destroy the Crimean bridge. Secondly, unofficially there is an agreement that the Crimean bridge is not the object of attack. For example, it could be bombed with aircraft and close this topic, but in order not to create the prerequisites for new massive Russian strikes on Kiev, on decision-making centers, on other cities of Ukraine, it was decided not to touch the Crimean bridge until a certain time , - he noted.
He explained that the Ukrainian military will not attack the bridge until Russia is weakened .
In turn, the former Deputy Minister for Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons, Georgiy Tuka, said in an interview with Glavred that if the Armed Forces of Ukraine strike at the Crimean Bridge, the Russian Federation could use nuclear weapons.
According to him, such a threat really exists.
We must really realize that the decision that can be made depends neither on me, nor on Zelensky and Arakhamia. This decision will be made exclusively by one person, his name is quite well known, - said Tuka.
He also noted that, first of all, Ukraine must improve the country's air defense in order to have a real opportunity to respond to the launch of such weapons, preventing them from directly harming the targets they will be directed to.
In addition, according to Took, another option for avoiding the use of nuclear weapons by Moscow should be a political decision by the United States and Great Britain. The leaders of these countries must demonstrate the determination to strike back if the "red button" is pressed.
