especially the bridge across the Kerch strait.
—————-
That bridge is no longer the military supply line. Now mainly just a civilian passageway, handling civilian infrastructure needs, primarily rebuilding.
Russia has built a rail line ( in record time) that extends to Melitipol, carrying metric tonnage of war supplies.
“ Kirilo Budanov dropped a bombshell on March 31. That day, the head of the intelligence services of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (GUR) stated in an interview with Ukrainian state television that Russia had “almost” completed the construction of a new railway line that will connect the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don with Crimea along the Sea of Azov. Until that day, Ukrainians had barely heard of this infrastructure, except for the propaganda statements made by Russian President Vladimir Putin, which few in Ukraine believed. The military authorities in Kyiv have admitted this week that they expect this route to come into operation in soon, which will be a significant step forward in Russia’s efforts to consolidate its military presence in four partially occupied provinces.
Tavrida-2 is the name of this train line, as reported on Wednesday by Denis Chistikov, the second-highest Ukrainian representative for the occupied territories of Crimea. Once completed, the 310-mile railway line will be the second rail network connecting Crimea — the peninsula illegally annexed by Russia in 2014 — with Russian territory. The first train line crosses the Kerch Strait bridge…..”
Non western MSM sources state the rail line has already been supplying areas east of Marioupol.
Vlad appears to have checkmated senile Joe once again.
The Western Gaslight Media can gaslight those fools into believing ANYTHING.
Of course, they probably believed the gaslighting about Joe Biden being "sharp as a tack", too...
There is no reason that the Kerch bridge cannot be used for military purposes, nor is there any reason that Ukraine cannot attack and sever the land side rail line and roads as well if they have the means to do so. Indeed, for strategic and operational reasons, it makes sense to accumulate overwhelming striking power and do them all at the same time, along with attacks on Crimea’s infrastructure so as to strand as many Russians as possible in Crimea and make their circumstances untenable.
