That lie has been repeated many times. International organizations, like the OSCE, have refuted that lie, as have the rebel governments of the LPR and DPR.
Of course the Russian military has destroyed every Ukrainian village, town, and city that they could. Will you condemn that?
Ukrainian sea drones took down 2 spans of the bridge.
Russian authorities telling their tourists trapped in Crimea to drive through the Zaporizhzhia war zone to return home to Russia.
LOL. Vatniks. Yep
It did have an effect, the last time. It reduced supply availability to the Kherson bridgehead (besides the HIMARS destruction of bridges and ferries on the Dneiper). I figure it made the supply of bridging equipment (also used to make ferries) and other engineering equipment difficult That’s how interdiction works, it’s incremental.
Rail unaffected. Minimal military impact. However, you and your ilk get to celebrate over the deaths of a couple of innocent civilians driving across a bridge (that will be repaired in relatively short order). It is unfortunate that you USA supporters of this evil will face no consequences once the Ukraine unconditionally surrenders (and it will- the USA and NATO are paper tigers- they won’t directly involve themselves- the myth of USA military supremacy cannot be contradicted).
Do you think their is any significance to the timing of this attack (if it has really taken down part of the bridge)?
If the Ukrainians did use a ATACMS then I’d think something is imminent. I’d expect then to save the surprise for something important.
I am not speaking with certainty.
I’m say IF this has resulted in real damage, it will have an effect. If its been a successful attack, this is not a military nothing.
Evidently cannibalism begins immediately according to political activist Randall Robinson.

It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive. Four days after the storm, thousands of blacks in New Orleans are dying like dogs. No-one has come to help them.
Crimea cut off from mainland Russia. Putin telling his stranded tourists to return to Russia from Crimea by driving through Melitopol, Berdansk and Mariupol war zones.
Hell no. Though I was indifferent at the beginning of the conflict, the constant, ceaseless agitprop from you Slave Ukraine zealots (particularly on FR) and the desperate political attempt of the Biden regime to have a win after Afghanistan humiliation, has driven me to become incredibly pro Russia/ Putin. I hope Ukranian cities in historic Ruthenia and Galicia are devastated in response. Zelensky’s hometomwn of Krivoy Rog is historically a Russian city but as an object lesson, it too should be leveled.
You don’t know what damage has been done yet.
The last time it took at least a month to partly repair the destroyed roadway, and three more to restore both lanes.
I dont think the railroad portion was fully repaired until very recently, but I have not heard the work was finished. It was shut down for repairs in March 2023.
Link to this reduction?
Screenshot of a tweet shows traffic backed up. Google maps, traffic, for the Temryuksky District, Krasnodar Krai, on the Russian side of the bridge shows traffic is getting backed up.
This is idiotic. Freight rail traffic (where most military stores would come from) didn’t even exist until 2020. Russia has ample provisions and stores in Crimea. Ukraine meanwhile is wholly dependent on the exhausted stores of USA and NATO, and waning patience of an electorate tired of seeing insolent foreigners prioritized over Americans. I’ve no doubt you and your NAFO fellows will fight to the bitter end from the safety of your keyboards however.
I find your personal pique a shallow reason for such sentiments. And your theatrical bloodthirstiness is not just overdramatic, but juvenile. Just an opinion.
Closing of the Crimean bridge: Aksyonov urges to travel through Ukraine
The head of the Russian authorities of the annexed Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, calls not to rely on the Crimean bridge and to make their way to Russia or, conversely, to Crimea, through the front-line occupied territories of Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions of Ukraine.
“Given the current situation, I ask residents and guests of the peninsula to refrain from traveling through the Crimean bridge and, for security reasons, choose an alternative land route through new regions,” Aksyonov wrote in Telegram.
Local sources report that not only the Crimean bridge is now closed, but also the ferry crossing parallel to it.

Closing of the Crimean bridge: latest reports
✔️Various Russian sources report that the Minister of Industrial Policy of the annexed Crimea, Elena Elekchyan, assured: Crimea is fully provided with fuels and lubricants, food and other goods. This statement is interesting not because of the extent to which Crimea is actually secured, but because of how seriously the authorities take the damage and closure of the Crimean bridge.
The operation of the ferry crossing between Crimea and the Kuban has been stopped - this was officially confirmed by the authorities of the Temryuksky district of the Krasnodar Territory adjacent to the bridge. Earlier there were unofficial reports that the ferry crossing was also closed, as was the bridge.
✔️ There are many kilometers of traffic jams at the entrances to the Crimean bridge.
✔️ Governor of the Krasnodar Territory Veniamin Kondratyev announced the creation of an operational headquarters to help those stuck in traffic.
The Ministry of Transport of Russia, following the head of the authorities of the annexed Crimea, called on fellow citizens to travel to or from Crimea through the occupied front-line territories in “mainland” Ukraine - Russian officials call them “new regions” (of Russia).
Closing of the Crimean bridge: Razvozhaev also writes about the “emergency”
The head of the authorities of the annexed Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, also spoke about the closure of the Crimean bridge, but did not add clarity to the question of what happened on the bridge: he also writes about some kind of “emergency”.
Razvozhaev urged the residents of Sevastopol not to try to stock up on fuel: there is enough fuel in the city, as he assures.
“As soon as it becomes clear how and when the message will be restored, you will receive all the information,” Razvozhaev wrote in his Telegram channel.

they used ferries (not our woke military type, the boat type) up until 2018, so Im pretty sure they still have them available.
