that threatens to cut off annexed peninsula from Putin's reinforcements A huge explosion has hit the only bridge between Crimea and Russia, a crucial supply line for Putin's forces Footage shows the blast following the rail bridge engulfed in flames and the road bridge next to it collapsed
The cause of the explosion is not known but Ukraine has been targeting Russian logistics in recent weeks Footage appears to show a truck exploding on the road section of the bridge as sabotage is suspected
A crucial bridge linking Russia and Ukraine has caught fire in a spectacular explosion in a suspected attack by Ukraine as the country cuts of supplies to Russian forces.
A train carrying fuel erupted in flames on the crossing, built by Vladimir Putin as a key link to the territory he invaded in 2014.
The only bridge between Crimea and the Russian mainland has been vital to the Russian military for supplying Putin's war in Ukraine.
Ukraine has previously threatened to target the bridge and has been damaging Russian logistics in recent weeks.
Footage of the incident appear to show a truck exploding on the road section of the bridge as it drives towards Kerch in Crimea.
It was unclear if this may have been a suicide bomb in a truck but there have been no reports of incoming missiles. Some witnesses claimed there were two explosions .
A voice on one video is heard saying: 'It seems to me there were two explosions, no? -- If it was a missile, it would hit the second [rail] bridge too in any case.'
There were suggestions Putin may address the nation on the bridge explosion amid fears he will unleash havoc on Ukraine.
He has already hinted he could use nuclear weapons in the war with Ukraine.

“Invading” is relative to user.
Ask the millions in the Donbass region, that just voted to join the Russian Federation, if they view Putin’s/Russia’s actions as “invading” or an “invasion.” Kind of hard to view such as an “invasion” or “invading” when they asked for Putin/Russia to intervene on their behalf in the first place. Just as it was for Crimea.
Do I back or support every thing Putin does?
No.
Will I support a neo-nazi influenced ZelenskyyIdiot regime? Never.

“Suicide bombing cheer leading, particularly recruiting cancer patients bothers me.”
Do you know for a fact that’s what happened? Maybe, just maybe, it was a team. One guy drove a truck full of explosives and stopped in the middle of the bridge. Second guy pulls up in another vehicle and guy number one jumps in.
They’ve either set a timer or used a radio detonator of some kind and when they’re clear…KABOOM.
No cancer patient needed.

Thank you I have tried to say this many times but nearly as succinct
Free Republic Dogma rules
Any thoughts contrary to some established dogma must be destroyed . The adherents of the antiUkraine Free Republic Dogma continue to promote the proRussian view even in the face ofblatent russian defeat on the battlefield and especially in the economic withering in Russia
that’s pretty good
well done!
You are right. Since the Daily Mail reported the explosion it must be untrue. Nothing happened.
Some time later today we will learn from the pro-Russia club how this is a part of Putin's advanced plan to defeat Ukraine. Damaging the Kerch Bridge is a part of their military strategy, since without being able to retreat or get supplies his army will fight harder.
“Any thoughts contrary to some established dogma must be destroyed.”
Rich coming from your pro-Ukrainian peeps who can’t stand counter nor opposing viewpoints.
...
“The adherents of the antiUkraine Free Republic Dogma continue to promote the proRussian view even in the face ofblatent russian defeat on the battlefield and especially in the economic withering in Russia”
By what measurements?
Furthermore, I see idiocy has resurfaced.
Dogma? Really?
Let me reverse what you just said that is just as applicable to you pro-Ukrainian peeps as you assert it is to us “pro-Russian” peeps:
“The adherents of the antiRussia Free Republic Dogma continue to promote the proUkrainian view even in the face ofblatent Ukrainian defeat on the battlefield and especially in the economic withering in Ukraine, the US, the EU, UK, Germany”
Another example of Russia winning.
Talking out your ass serves no purpose bruh, just saying.
Another example of Russia winning.
And that is absolutely misconstrued and you know it. Very telling that you would be so deceptive about true perspectives.
so mail online does tell the truth?
They don't, but determined soldiers from that part of the world will act with conspicuous bravery and disregard for their own personal safety. One example from a few years ago was a Russian recon team member that called an airstrike in on his position as it was overrun by ISIS. There have been similar instances in the current war by Ukrainian fighters.
This may be an example of that, or just a remotely detonated weapon.
We’ll use Western weapons to destroy bridge linking Russia to Crimea, threatens Ukraine general
I thought you were referring to the Putin groupies.
I’m at a loss as to how both spans could have been taken out by a single charge.
But if separate charges were placed on a vehicle and on a rail car, I’d not have expected the two damaged spans to be in the same place.
It looks as if the charges were separately emplaced on the bridges, which makes no sense.
But what is really confusing me is the train. Whether there was a charge on the train or on the track, I don’t see how it could have detonated without derailing the train. It looks like the train was stationary, which also makes no sense.
Careless smoking.
I’m unsure if you’re serious or that’s a comeback.
It’s harder to tell in written word.
Putin’s egomania is circling the drain. Poot thought he could walk over Ukraine, same as he did in Georgia and Crimea.
