Key Bridge Restored by Russia Bombed Again in Ukraine Strike
https://www.msn.com ^ | 8-19-2022 | Zoe Strozewski

Ukraine's forces struck a bridge of strategic importance to Russia shortly after President Vladimir Putin's military managed to restore it.

Serhiy Khlan wrote Ukraine's armed forces created "fireworks" at the bridge in the city of Kakhovkaridge in the city of Kakhovka. "It looks like there won't be a grand opening," wrote Khlan, who is a deputy chairman of the Kherson Regional Council.

In a subsequent post, Khlan said that Ukraine's Operational Command South had also confirmed that Ukrainian forces "destroyed the plans of the occupiers to repair and use" the bridge. The defense ministries of Russia and Ukraine were contacted for confirmation and comment.

The Kakhovka bridge, which runs over the Nova Kakhovka dam, is important to Russia because it was being used to transport military equipment in Ukraine's occupied Kherson region. When Ukraine's Operational Command South detailed an earlier strike on the bridge in an August 12 Facebook post, Khlan said on the platform that it was the last bridge connecting the right and left banks.

This meant that "the Russians no longer have any opportunity to completely transfer their equipment," he wrote, according to an English translation of his post.

"Of course, they will try to repair it, look for an alternative crossing, but it takes time and money and as soon as they prepare and gather equipment and strength, we will destroy it again," Khlan added.

Friday's reported strike, if true, seemed to follow through on that promise.

An August 18 operational update from Ukraine's Defense Ministry said that Russia was working to maintain its control over the Kherson region and parts of the Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Mykolayiv oblasts (provinces). It is also trying to secure full control of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions while "restoring the combat capability of units that have suffered losses."

Team Globalist needs to hurry up and crush the Rooskies so they can get back to what’s truly important: The Great Reset.

Those peasants aren’t going to eat ze bugs and jab themselves.

Define “vital”.

It is not making any difference, except to those killed and those others in the EU and the rest of the world being subjected to inflation, shortages and constant anxiety.

The puppetmasters just keep pulling those strings.

Perhaps you are reassuring yourself with false metrics?

...90% of Ukraine is unoccupied, the Ukrainian Government is still fully functioning, and the Russian advance has been halted

and the sanctions will stay in place till Russia leaves
_________________________________________

Ukraine may be be mostly unoccupied, but it is not unscathed.

The government may be *functioning*, but only with foreign capital, the EU portion of which is being reconsidered.

Define halted? Other commentators describe rotation and resupply while advances continue elsewhere, as does consolidation.

Does the occupation of Canada by forces loyal to the WEF concern you as much? Are you cheering the suffering you fantasize is being meted out to Russia because you can’t bring yourself to resist the same enemy at home? If, by some miracle, Ukraine’s puppet masters *win* (whatever that means), will Canada be liberated?

You seem obsessed with Putin. Why is that ? I think you’re sweet on him.

No, Comrade, he is your guy. I’m just pointing that out, and will continue to point that out, and mock you for it.

No, Comrade. But just pointing out that your soul is in eternal peril for supporting mass murderers of women and children, since you say that Jesus is “your guy.” I’m pretty sure he would disapprove.

That’s “He”, not “he.” If you were a Christian, you’d know that. Jesus knows me and knows I do not support mass murder.

I think, if I were you, I’d be more worried about your gleeful excitement at the murder of that young woman in Russia. Pretty evil.
