▪️In the past, Russian strikes on bridges in Ukraine were episodic. Since October, attacks on bridges across the Dnieper have become systematic. At the moment the Northern and Southern bridges in Kyiv have been damaged, including supports and the roadway, — the British Financial Times states.

▪️First of all, this disrupts the flow of weapons coming from west to east. Heavy equipment and large-caliber ammunition are transported by rail, and destroyed railway bridges hinder the rapid transfer of reserves to the front line.

▪️In addition, the country’s energy supply from west to east is disrupted and the life of the capital is paralyzed. Russia is effectively isolating the eastern part of Ukraine, where combat operations are underway, from the western part bordering the EU.

▪️Russia’s successes are due not only to the acute shortage of missiles for Patriot air defense systems in Ukraine. By modernizing the guidance systems of ballistic missiles, Russia has raised their accuracy to a new level, successfully bypassing Ukrainian electronic warfare systems, — Financial Times emphasizes.

“KRISTALL ROSTA” previously cited the statement of the Head of the Russian State that by striking Russia, Ukraine “opened Pandora’s box.” Russia also called on all foreign citizens to leave Kyiv as soon as possible.
