In the occupied territories of southern Ukraine, approximately 75% of the provision of the group of Russian troops was carried out through the occupied Crimea, the expert noted.

Damage to the Crimean bridge will now make it impossible to transfer Russian mobilized through the temporarily occupied Crimea further to the Zaporozhye direction or to the left bank of the Kherson region.

This was announced by military expert Alexander Musienko during the information telethon.

“You have to understand that somewhere around 75 percent of the support for the grouping of Russian troops in the occupied territories of southern Ukraine was carried out through the occupied Crimea and, in particular, through the Crimean bridge. And, of course, against the backdrop of Russia’s desire to transfer mobilized people there, whom they later from Crimea want to transport further to the Zaporozhye direction or to the left bank of the Kherson region. This will now make such a transfer impossible. And, of course, that the key to the de-occupation of southern Ukraine as a whole, including in the occupied Crimea,” he said.

Musienko also noted that at least this will slow down the transfer of Russian troops, and in the future it will create prerequisites for the Russian military to have even more problems in the occupied territories of the south.

Explosions on the Crimean bridge today – what happened

As UNIAN reported earlier, on the morning of October 8, it became known that a severe fire broke out on the railway line of the Crimean bridge .

Initially, it was reported that the fuel terminal was on fire.

Later in the Russian Federation they said that a railway train with fuel caught fire on the Crimean bridge after a truck was blown up .

According to the National Anti-Terrorism Committee of Russia, the explosion on the Crimean bridge led to the fact that seven fuel tanks of the train caught fire.
