Ukraine Strikes Bridge Linking Russia to Crimea With Underwater Explosives

Ukraine Strikes Bridge Linking Russia to Crimea With Underwater Explosives

The Spin

There is no place for illegal Russian structures on the territory of Ukraine. That's why the bridge is a legitimate target for attack, particularly as it has been used to supply Russian troops with weapons for attacks on Ukraine. Crimea is Ukrainian and its occupation will continue to be met with harsh measures.

Ukraine’s attacks on the Kerch Bridge are reckless acts of terrorism targeting civilian infrastructure. The bridge is a vital link for millions in Crimea and Russia has every right to defend its territory, especially Crimea, whose people voted to rejoin Russia in 2014. These provocations only fuel conflict and endanger civilians.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 0.1% chance that Ukraine will sever the land bridge between Crimea and Russia before 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
