What happened to the Crimea bridge and why is it important? - Lemmy.world

Traffic on the single bridge that links Russia to Moscow-annexed Crimea and serves as a key supply route for the Kremlinā€™s forces in the war with Ukraine came to a standstill on Monday after one of its sections was blown up, killing a couple and wounding their daughter. The RBC Ukraine news agency reported that explosions were heard on the bridge, with Russian military bloggers reporting two strikes. RBC Ukraine and another Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda said the attack was planned jointly by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian navy, and involved sea drones.

If it werenā€™t for Prigozhin and his Wagner mercenaries staging a mutiny against the Russian military, I would have cast serious doubt on Ukraineā€™s counteroffensive succeeding. Regardless of what you think about the competency of the Russian armed forces, it canā€™t be denied that Wagner are one of their few effective units in force.

At this rate I think that Zelenskyy will retake Crimea and the Donbas within months.
