Hitting the Crimea bridge was a strategic mistake by the Ukrainians. It looked good on T.V but that doesn’t win a war. Russia has seized upon it to go after Ukrainian infrastructure that, for what ever reason, it had left alone.

Yup.
Zelensky thinks he's still doing comedy on TV.

“...the Crimea bridge was a strategic mistake by the Ukrainians. It looked good on T.V but that doesn’t win a war. Russia has seized upon it to go after Ukrainian infrastructure that, for what ever (sic) reason, it had left alone...”

Your statement is contradictory. The bridge is infrastructure. Now the Russians make yet another strike on Ukrainian infrastructure with the implication that infrastructure attacks are indeed the way to win a war.

Strategy is one thing and tactics are another and according to Patton, “There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.”

The Ukrainians have had the upper hand lately at the tactical level.
