A leading Ukrainian presidential aide claimed this morning that the explosion which damaged a key bridge in Crimea may have been ordered by one of Vladimir Putin's warring commanders.
The 12 mile crossing over the Kerch strait links Crimea to the Russian mainland and is a major artery for Putin's forces that control most of southern Ukraine's Kherson region and for the Russian naval port of Sevastopol.
It was damaged in an explosion early Saturday morning which saw chunks of the bridge fall into the sea and a large fire break out.
The incident prompted gleeful messages from Ukrainian officials - though no claim of responsibility - and video footage of the bridge appeared to show a mysterious wave crest underneath the structure moments before the blast, prompting speculation that a Ukrainian-piloted boat or drone was likely behind it.
But Zelensky's presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak today alleged that the explosion was of Russian origin.
Russia's FSB secret service and private military organisations are at loggerheads with the defence ministry and are trying to undermine one another's credibility in bitter dogfight over the botched war, he alleged.
'FSB/PMC try to eliminate leadership of Defense Ministry/GHQ...Isn't it obvious who made an explosion? Truck arrived from RF [Russian Federation],' Podolyak said in a post on Twitter.
A Western diplomatic source added that the bridge attack could have been commissioned from inside the Russian establishment to fatally weaken Putin and trigger his toppling.
'It might be the SBU [Ukrainian secret service] but it also could be the first major sign of a bid from within Russia to incapacitate the Kremlin tsar,' the source said.

So many conspiracies. I wonder if the same CIA guys who di the pipeline did the bridge?
Has Putin been weakened by this?
LOL - Anyone “brilliant” enough to buy this “Russia did the attack” story would also be “brilliant” enough to believe that it was the Americans themselves who attacked Pearl Harbor. /sarc
ROFLMAO.
Given various Ukrainian government and military officials having already claiming responsibility......LMAO.
Yo, you don’t make a commemorative stamp for nothing to celebrate an utter failure to take out one huge ass bridge......
> the explosion which damaged a key bridge in Crimea may have been ordered by one of Vladimir Putin’s warring commanders <
The key word there is “may”.
As in,
The Turkish navy may have ordered the explosion.
The Illuminati may have ordered the explosion.
The cast of SNL may have ordered the explosion.
After all, each of the above groups would have their reasons.
Putin allegedly blew up his own pipeline and now his bridge to Crimea, Putin must be playing 4th dimensional chess because no one believes it
Unlikely. But at some point I think they will have to go after Putin so they can end the war. The only problem is Crimea. Both sides have a claim to it so they will fight over it.
Yo, college/univ, down the road from where I live is offering a ‘How to Blow a Bridge Properly 101’ class, only $99.99, not filled yet and Alexander Vindman having just enrolled.
Send memo to the CIA/MI6 controlled ZelenskyyIdiot that he might want to attend or have someone competent attend, as well?
kthx.
Blowing the bridge makes perfect sense. I strongly doubt the Russians blew their own bridge.
Similarly blowing the pipeline made perfect sense and again I strongly doubt the Russians did it. Who did do it can never admit it until after the war, but no way was it the Russians.
Yes, when you are allegedly ‘winning’ against the bad Russians and bad bad Putin, resorting to calling for a pre-emptive nuclear strike is all a part of ‘winning.’
If that is ‘winning,’ we are all screwed!

The Kremlin has published a video where Putin clearly states that the blowing up of the Crimean bridge was a terrorist attack by Ukrainian special services and foreign accomplices.
Everyone understands that this is not just a statement, but a preparation for something major that will follow, but this will be more important.
Options:
- announcing an ultimatum to Ukraine
- officially declaring war on Ukraine
- raising the stakes and launching full-scale attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.
- will announce the goals of decision-making centers in Ukraine, which will begin to destroy. They will call on all civilians to leave these facilities and the territory nearby.
All these options are very bad for the Ukrainian people. For the Office of the President and the “directors” of the terrorist attack, they are not terrible, they most likely achieved this.

So stupid. Amazing what people will do to smear Russia and cost them millions of dollars in repair.
Don’t forget George Soros, and the WWE😉
Putin’s war is generating psyops from all directions.
