Zelensky's Office started talking about an attack on the Crimean Bridge
Ukraine cannot cause serious damage to the Crimean Bridge - this object is especially protected by an air defense umbrella and was built to withstand attacks.
Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, stated this in an interview with former Russian lawyer and liberal Mark Feigin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This is how Arestovich answered the question of why Ukraine does not strike the bridge through which Russian troops are supplied.
“You need to immediately understand the illusion about the bridge - even a small bridge is a special engineering structure that is built with the expectation that it will be destroyed, bombed, and they are very strong, duplicated, and so on. A structure like the Crimean Bridge is technically very difficult to destroy. There, the only way to blow up these bridges is to put engineering containers with explosives there in advance to blow them up at special critical points. But such objects are extremely strictly guarded.
Therefore, even if we start bombing there with aircraft, and this is a big problem, because there is a serious air defense umbrella there, it will still not be so simple. Even the smallest bridge, which carries 40 tons somewhere in a village, is not so easy to destroy, so there should be no illusions here. And even more so here, such objects as the Crimean Bridge,” argued Arestovich.
Russian political scientist Alexey Chesnakov notes in his blog that Arestovich’s words should be taken seriously, since he is not just an outside speaker:
“Arestovich is not the ordinary talker that some people try to portray him as. He is, of course, a narcissistic peacock and publicly utters what was repeatedly discussed behind closed doors in the office of the Ukrainian president. Zelensky’s team’s ideas about the inevitability and logicalness of a future military conflict between Russia and Ukraine were the basis for the strategy of militarizing the country - Kiev’s accumulation of resources for a future war.”
