Ukraine aide calls for Crimea bridge to be ‘dismantled’ after blasts

A senior Ukrainian official has called for Moscow’s main bridge connecting the Kremlin-controlled Crimea to the Russian mainland to be “dismantled,” in the wake of several attacks on the peninsula.

The 19-kilometre (12-mile) bridge inaugurated in 2018 by Russian President Vladimir Putin is Moscow’s key military and civilian land corridor to the peninsula, which it grabbed from Ukraine in 2014.

“The bridge is an illegal object,” presidential aide Mykhaylo Podolyak said on social media.

It “must therefore be dismantled. Not important how – voluntary or not”, he added, implying the Kerch bridge could become a military target for Ukrainian forces.
