A BARRAGE of Ukrainian missiles has hammered the strategically crucial Antonovsky Bridge in the east of Ukrainian in another massive blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
News website Visegrad 24 tweeted: "The Antonivsky bridge near Kherson looks very crisp this morning. Reports say that up to 10 Ukrainian missiles have hit the bridge."
Another poster shared a different image, commenting: "RIP, Antonovsky Bridge!"
A third suggested heavy casualties were inevitably, posting: "Ukraine hit the Antonovsky bridge just as nine Russian ammunition trucks drove onto it."
Twitter user Eric Korsas said: "Seems that during the night #Ukrainian #HIMARS have visited #antonovskybridge near #Kherson again.
"#Russian forces tried to shoot down the #HIMARSrockets, but didn't succeed."
The bridge crosses the Dnieper river close to the city of Kherson.
It was seized by Russian forces following fierce fighting in the days after Vladimir Putin ordered his invasion on February 24.
The bridge serves as a crucial route to supply Russian troops on the western banks of the Dnipro.
The extent to which it remains usable is currently unclear.

One thing is fairly sure. Those are not Ukrainian missiles. Most likely US missiles.
Vlad will have to pass his own Build Back Better.
It said HIMARS. So yes US missiles but operated by Ukranians.
How is Ukraine going to take back Crimea if they keep blowing up bridges?

Good observation. I hope he remembers to include billions to fight Climate Change. Because that’s very important.
Good photos at twitter of hits on the Antonovsky Bridge

Fixed it.
LOL. With all these “wins” posted here, Zelensky should be winning. Yet....he’s not. The Ukranians cede ground, people and equipment everyday. 250,000 injured or killed in the Ukranian army and desertions and surrenders every day. But great propaganda.
Cool.
The Russians retreated west towards Nikolaev, occupying the town of Blahodatne in their panic.
“It said HIMARS. So yes US missiles but operated by Ukranians”
HIMARS driven by Ukrainians to the launch site and set into launch configuration, pretty much everything else....launch time, targeting supplied by the US.
Which is why we are playing a dangerous game by pretending we are not directly involved in this conflict.
No way Ukraine could exactly target the time when trucks rolled over the bridge.
Kherson eastern region: Russian now making a major push - UA forces fall back as Russian’s 108th/ 7th AD creating a pincer toward Mykolaiv and buffer around Snihurivka bridge so forces can be supplied directly from Russia. Not looking good for UA, and they could be in big trouble here.
The homo backup dancers for Zelenskyy already beat us to it.
But great propaganda. 250,000 injured or killed

So is yours, troll!
This is really a war between the US and Russia in many ways. Well I should say the deep state and Russia.
“Here is the luckiest man in Russia!”
Home court advantage...
