This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

“More than a year into Vladimir Putin’s invasion, the web of global trade has adjusted to Western sanctions, with a network of middlemen sending cars, electronics and more to Russia.”
My question would be would the vote be counted fairly.

Of course not. Estrogen has too much to lose otherwise.

“Russian military blogger Yuri Kotenok:
“Not very good news continues to come from the Bakhmut area. As of 1750 Moscow time (1550 BST), the following positions on our flanks have been lost [on the map in sky blue]””

“Prigozhin said that the situation on the flanks in Bakhmut is developing for the Russians according to the worst-case scenario
“These territories, which were taken with the blood and lives of our comrades-in-arms for many months, every day - passing tens or hundreds of meters - today, almost without a fight, the topic of who should hold our flanks is raised,” said the head of the terrorist organization.
Well, that’s glorious.”

Kerch Bridge
Should not be destroyed.
Only the connecting roadway and railroad at the west end.
IMHO
Why not destroyed?
I like your first point but on the third, I think that Ukraine will come out of this fiercely nationalistic.
Ukraine will have a new national identity as a people and nation, and while their eyes and hearts turn to the West, they will know who they are and will be seeking that relation as Ukrainians.
In 2006 Putin and his cabal seriously considered joining NATO. No doubt if they are honest with themselves, they now wish that they did. This catastrophic Ukraine war will be as debilitating to Russia as were the 1905 war with Japan and WW I. As Pasternak wrote the Russian people have a huge, repulsive capacity for suffering.

“Why not”
To reduce the costs and delays of post war reconstruction.
linMcHlp recommends putting it out of service during the siege of Crimea, without incurring unnecessary expense afterward.
