Maybe the Ukes arent quite confident they would be welcomed as liberators in an oblast 84% under Russian control or influence, whose Russian speaking population has for years been treated punitively as sub human by Kiev, and that is considering a referendum to join the Russian Federation once the threat of retaliation is reduced
Temporarily… lol. That region is gone
>>> “There were no strikes on the bridge. There were attempts, but everything was repelled by the air defense system. Nothing flew on the bridge at all, these are all fakes,” Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the region’s civil military administration, told Russian state news agency TASS. <<<
So what he’s saying is that the Ukrainians have destroyed the bridge. Good to know.
