The bridge across the Kerch Strait, connecting the temporarily occupied Crimea with the aggressor country Russia, will certainly be destroyed. This was stated by the speaker of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk.

He emphasized that Ukraine does not suffer from symbolism, unlike the Russians. This is very helpful when conducting combat operations with limited resources. So, if, conventionally, on the birthday of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, the occupiers have the task of “taking” something somewhere, then the Ukrainians do not have this.
Therefore, this bridge, of course, will be destroyed, but it will be destroyed when the situation requires it. There is no point in destroying a bridge to cheer up. When it becomes necessary to cut off the logistical tails of Crimea and make it an island, this will definitely be done. Therefore, you need to wait for the right moment,” the speaker said in an interview with Ukrinform.
Pletenchuk added that inflicting fire on the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea is not something symbolic. This is included in the overall plan for the liberation of our occupied lands and is the elements of one major operation.
“We very often measure a counteroffensive in square kilometers, but this is not very correct, because any such operations are complex, multi-layered, there are many elements that must be carried out in the appropriate sequence,” he added.
