Unease as Putin calls emergency meeting after Crimea bridge explosion

Vladimir Putin will chair an emergency security council meeting after the 12-mile bridge linking mainland Russia and Crimea was partially destroyed.

On the day after his 70th birthday, the Russian leader woke up to reports of a truck explosion on the Kerch Bridge, which has previously been described as his ‘pet project’.

The president himself presided over its grand opening in 2018, four years after he illegally annexed the peninsula from Ukraine.

Lord Dannatt, the former head of the British Army, warned that Putin could ‘go nuclear’ after the destruction of the symbolic infrastructure project, the Telegraph reported.
