'The bridge is doomed,' the head of Ukraine's SBU security service said this past November.
Russian forces are no longer using the Crimean bridge, a key supply route, to replenish Moscow's stocks of weapons and ammunition in the annexed peninsula and southern Ukraine, according to Kyiv.
Once Russian authorities restore the bridge, 'perhaps they will begin to haul their ammunition across this bridge again.'Newsweek has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.Russia said last August that Ukraine had launched missiles at the bridge. Kyiv's homegrown naval drones fitted with explosives targeted the bridge the previous month.Russian authorities said in October 2022 that a bomb carried in a truck had detonated on the bridge.
