This was told by Natalia Gumenyuk, speaker of the Southern Defense Forces.
But he is too close to the positions of the Ukrainian defense forces, and this makes the enemies nervous. They do not feel safe using this logistical transport route,” a spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces told Espresso.
Therefore, according to her, the Russian troops “see and understand” that the attempt to repair the bridge is futile.
The bridge was damaged to the extent that it could not withstand the load of military vehicles and ammunition. The Russians are trying to equip pontoon crossings. But if we got to the bridge, then what prevents us from reaching the pontoon crossings? They continue to do so in anticipation of the next “pop”. We will try not to wait long, – Gumenyuk emphasized.
The fact that the damage as a result of the shelling turned out to be more serious than originally thought was also stated earlier by the head of the occupying authorities in the part of the Kherson region of the balance.
Rakurs reported that due to the destruction of the bridge at the Chongar checkpoint by the Ukrainian Armed Forces rocket, the Russian invaders significantly changed the logistics and work order at the checkpoints between the captured part of the Kherson region and Crimea.
Due to the Perekop checkpoint located on the territory of the occupied Crimea, the movement of only trucks is now organized. You can go to this point through the Chaplynka checkpoint, which was closed back in 2021 due to extremely low demand.
Only regular buses and cars pass through the Armyansk checkpoint. This checkpoint can be reached from the Kherson region through the Kalanchak checkpoint.
Consequently, the route to the Crimea for private traders has become much longer.
