Kremlin Declares “Land Bridge” Complete From Western Russia To Donbas To Crimea
Russia’s military has declared that its desired strategic “land bridge” connecting Russian national territory with the Donbas and Crimea is complete, according to statements given to CNN senior national security correspondent Alex Marquardt. The Tuesday Russian military statement said that “roads and rail lines between western Russia and Crimea are operational,” which marks that “the land bridge is complete.”
“Conditions have been created for the resumption of full-fledged traffic between Russia, Donbas, Ukraine and Crimea on six railway sections,” Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said. “Automobile communication has been opened from the territory of Russia along the mainland to Crimea.” Thus it appears the Kremlin is touting its own ‘mission accomplished’ moment, at least pertaining to the eastern and southern theaters of the war.

Looks like things are FINALLY returning to normal there.
Putin also passed a 2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill? Impressive
Looks like Crimea is going to get back their access to fresh water Ukraine had cut off. Darn those nasty Russians.
It’s nice what you can do with other people’s land.
Time to grab the B. & O. [Biliaivka and Odessa] Railroad...
Drone it
“Looks like things are FINALLY returning to normal there.”
No; NORMAL would have been before the invasion. Now it’s occupied territory.
“No; NORMAL would have been before the invasion. Now it’s occupied territory.”
It’s over. No WW3 for you.
Now gas prices will return to $2.50 a gallon, food prices will come down and inflation will go all away next week. Phew, glad that it is over.
“No WW3 for you.”
Don’t project your wet dream onto me: You guys who have been cheering on this war are the warmongers, and you get that Chris Matthews chill up the leg thinking about nuclear war.
BTW: Aren’t you the guy who was pontificating about hunkering down in Russia to survive a global nuclear holocaust? Yeah, I think that was you.
Kind of exposes you as the advocate of a nuclear war.
I don’t think it’s anywhere I’d want to be taking a road trip right now.
“It’s over. No WW3 for you.”
There wasn’t going to be one.
“There wasn’t going to be one.”
Agree, sound like the West is figuring things out now.
“You guys who have been cheering on this war are the warmongers”
Actually, we wanted this settled BEFORE the war was necessary - but the West wouldn’t answer the phone. So no choice.
What happended to the “grand encirclement”? We were told? Odessa was to be become Russian and we had to accpet it. We were told Ukraine would become land locked right here by Putards who had access to the unvarnished truth!
Methinks Russia is declaring victory as they are spent.
“Agree, sound like the West is figuring things out now.”
It wasn’t the West that was threatening to start WWIII.
All those high gas prices are on Demented Joe, not Russia, despite what you read in the papers.
They still don’t have Odesa?
