Putin calls Kerch Bridge attack a terrorist act by KyivZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday called the attack that damaged the huge bridge connecting Russia to its annexed territory of Crimea a terrorist act masterminded by Ukrainian special services.
The Kerch Bridge, which holds important strategic and symbolic value to Russia in its faltering war in Ukraine, was hit a day earlier by what Moscow has said was a truck bomb. Road and rail traffic on the bridge were temporarily halted, damaging a vital supply route for the Kremlins forces.
Theres no doubt it was a terrorist act directed at the destruction of critically important civilian infrastructure of the Russian Federation, Putin said during a meeting with the chairman of Russias Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin. And the authors, perpetrators, and those who ordered it are the special services of Ukraine.
Bastrykin said Ukrainian special services and citizens of Russia and other countries took part in the attack. He said a criminal investigation had been launched into an act of terror.

Your precious bridge has crosshairs on it. If I were Russian and in Crimea, I'd get out while I still could. If that bridge goes down, it's by the grace of Ukrainian forces that they'll get to pack up and just go home.

The State that sponsors killings of non-combatants, then throws a tantrum when a tiny fraction of collateral damage is returned in kind. Ukraine cannot achieve victory of this piece of garbage soon enough.
Worse still, is that in less than a month, Americans may choose to elect Putin sympathetic rePuticans that will vote to cut off aid to Ukraine and endanger us and our NATO allies. That's if they don't also get their pipe-dream wish of ending the American Experiment for good.
