This is the struggle of Ukraine. They plan and conduct this battle. They choose targets and carry out this mission. We are focused on working with them, our allies and our partners to make sure they have the combat capabilities they need to defend their country and reclaim sovereign territory,” Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said of the Chongar Bridge strike at a June 22 briefing.
Asked if the United States helped choose the target, a Pentagon spokesman said:
Again, this is their fight. They choose targets and carry out this mission.
Recall that the blowing up of the Chongarsky bridge, which connects the occupied Crimea with mainland Ukraine, critically worsens the logistics of the Russian army in the south.
The previous route (marked with a red line) from Dzhankoy to Melitopol was 161 km.
The other two alternatives marked in blue and yellow go through Armyansk and are 280 and 298 km respectively.
With the destruction of the Chongarsky bridge, the Armed Forces of Ukraine doubled the time to provide for the Russian army in the south. Western Osinters call this “strategic degradation”.
