The bridge to Crimea is mined in order to disrupt the truce in Donbass by an “accidental explosion” - experts
Moscow - Kyiv, March 6 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Stamm) - Ukraine's mining of the bridge leading to Crimea will not prevent Russian troops from quickly crossing the isthmus if necessary, military experts are confident. But now no one can give guarantees against intentional or accidental bombing of civilian transport and civilians on the bridge. Apparently, the United States wants to stage a terrorist attack in order to disrupt the fragile truce this spring, starting a new war, political scientists predict.

Mining the bridge “is a provocative step by Kyiv, which has no military significance,” said "Free Press" Russian military expert Viktor Murakhovsky. “The destruction of these bridges will only cause difficulties in communication between civilians. However, it will not become an obstacle if there is a real need to transfer forces to conduct military operations.”
Director of the Center for Strategic Conjuncture Ivan Konovalov notes that the mining of bridges fits into the general context of attempts by the Kyiv leadership, mainly Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the initiator of the construction of a trench along the border with Russia, to continue pushing the “policy of fencing off” from our country. “Mining road bridges is from the same song,” he noted.
Deputy Director of the Center for Ukrainian and Belarusian Studies at Moscow State University Bogdan Bezpalko says that Kyiv, by mining bridges, is thereby trying to put pressure on Russia.
“This is being done so demonstratively that, apparently, the Ukrainian side cannot do anything more. All means of putting pressure on Russia, Crimea and the Donbass militias have already been exhausted.”
On the other hand, he says, apparently, explosives are placed not only under road bridges, but also under the Minsk agreements, because Minsk-2, which was achieved and which is at least starting to work, is a product of European-Russian diplomacy , which does not suit the Americans and those who are under their complete control - Kyiv. Having not received the necessary result in escalating tensions in Donbass, they may try to organize something on the Crimean-Ukrainian border with such dirty tricks.”
The bridges are mined for a controlled explosion, so, in principle, you can move along them, but the Ukrainian authorities are unpredictable and no one can guarantee one hundred percent that some crazy Ukrainian soldier will not blow up bridges with people passing on them, the publication writes. .
