The direct link between https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63183404 I'm not sure how much traffic uses that route, but it's not going to be useable for a bit thanks to that fire. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

With 2 lanes of the road bridge gone (how damaged the other 2 lanes are yet to be determined) and by the time that the fire on the rail bridge goes out I doubt that the spans there would be all that strong anymore, but what timing to blow it just as a fuel train was passing by. |

Both sides of the road bridge have collapsed, and the integrity of the rail bridge will be compromised as concrete starts loosing its strength if heated to about 250C, so I am told, and diesel burns at 1300C which is enough to melt the rebar. It was the main transport link into Crimea and southern Ukraine so supplies of every kind will be hampered. Making the problems for the Russians in Kherson even greater. |

It's certainly going to make life very interesting for the occupiers of Crimea now. |

I was misinformed about the road bridge, only one side collapsed. The bomb was in a truck, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2C2RVe_Wf8 |

BBC interview with Zelensky Surprised John Simpson didn't report accurately enough. Asked if Putin will survive if Ukraine wins the war, Zelensky responds: "I don't care".Scroll down for video Edit. As for the Kerch bridge, it would be interesting to know what direction the truck was heading: Towards Russia or Crimea? |

BBC interview with Zelensky Towards Crimea. |

Towards Crimea.Which matches a note on the BBC Live page on the bridge fire: Three people died in the explosion on the road and rail bridge linking Russia to Crimea, Russia's Investigative Committee says.(@ 12:22 UK time) |

Thanks. One of Pootin's false flag moves? If not... |

Russians who don't want to be shipped off as cannon fodder? That's a pretty big explosion. Was the truck carrying arms? Or was it full of fertilizer? Very interesting a fuel train was in exactly the right spot to take shrapnel and burn. That is not a coincidence. Smells like PooTin or a well placed coup start. |

If the situation wasn't so serious, this would be hilarious. So the deliberate targeting of civilians is just a "special military operation"? |

Is PooTin planning on a false flag operation in Belarus? Russian |

First it was HIMARS and now it's NASAMS after PooTin's little sissy fit. Biden promises Ukraine 'advanced air defense systems' after Russian missile barrage. |

It looks like Germany will beat the U.S.'s NASAMS with their own IRIS-T SLM arriving even sooner. German IRIS-T SLM Air Defense System Arriving In Days. As. Russian |

As PooTin's war crimes mount his army continues to fail. Huge Russian Assault Fails as Ukraine Repels Seven Attacks in One Day. While his new troops can be easily spotted apparently. Ukraine Details How to Spot Putin's New Troops on the Battlefield. And the Ukrainian military boast of shooting ‘four Russian helicopters down in 18 minutes’. But it seems that PooTin may have worked out why he's been giving away so many military assets. Russian fuel shipments to troops fighting in the Ukraine war have jumped to the highest level since the invasion began. |

Russia launches another mission. Special "evacuation" operation |

A special evacuation is usually preceded by much Putin. :^p |
Wiggo Send message Joined: 24 Jan 00 Posts: 36774 Credit: 261,360,520 RAC: 489 |
I wonder how many will be forced to leave in that direction? |

There are reports that Russian Soldiers Resigning En Masse as Putin's War Falters while it seems that all that fuel being shipped to the troops isn't getting to where it's needed as Retreating Russian troops are arming Ukraine with modern T-90 tanks as PooTin's army digs 60-year-old armor out of storage, Ukraine's military says, but sadly some still don't get the idea of peace.

Russia launches another mission. How are they going to do that evacuation as all the river bridges are out of commission, and most crossings are by barge which get sunk frequently. One of the reasons why the Russians are in such a bad state that side of the river is because they cannot get supplies, one of the reason Russians are abandoning fighting vehicles, no fuel. It was a brilliant Ukrainian move to make a push towards Kherson, so that the Russians would send thousands of troops there, and then the Ukrainians trapped them by destroying the bridges. |
