Russia withdraws protection from Crimean Bridge, says Ukrainian Navy spokeperson
"They previously had 10 to 14 ships and boats at sea at the same time to guard the bridge, and now there are zero. They have to somehow solve this problem," said Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Captain 3rd Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk in an interview with Radio NV on June 12.
"They are trying to limit maneuverability as much as possible, narrowing the passage to better control this part of the sea and protect the bridge," Pletenchuk said. "So they are constructing passive barriers and engineering structures using barges with booms. The goal is to counteract."
Earlier, British intelligence reported that Russia had placed eight barges near the southern side of the Crimean bridge to protect it from Ukrainian drone attacks.
Defense Express analyzed the video of the destruction of the Russian tugboat Saturn, released by HUR, and concluded that the Magura V5 was used to practice navigating through the booby traps.
A spokesperson of a navy that doesn’t exist? I want his job!
