Grayzone: EXPOSED: Before Ukraine blew up Kerch Bridge, British spies plotted it 

The secret British intelligence plot to blow up Crimea’s Kerch Bridge is revealed in internal documents and correspondence obtained exclusively by The Grayzone. 

The Grayzone has obtained an April 2022 presentation drawn up for senior British intelligence officers hashing out an elaborate scheme to blow up Crimea’s Kerch Bridge with the involvement of specially trained Ukrainian soldiers. Almost six months after the plan was circulated, Kerch Bridge was attacked in an October 8th suicide bombing apparently overseen by Ukraine’s SBU intelligence services. 

Detailed proposals for providing “audacious” support to Kiev’s “maritime raiding operations” were drafted at the request of Chris Donnelly, a senior British Army intelligence operative and veteran high ranking NATO advisor. The wide-ranging plan’s core component was “destruction of the bridge over the Kerch Strait.” 

Documents and correspondence plotting the operation were provided to The Grayzone by an anonymous source.

WNU Editor: I am always skeptical on news organizations and web sites using "anonymous" sources. But before the Crimea Kerch Bridge attack there were reports in the media that Ukraine asked the UK for help to destroy the Kerch Bridge .... Ukraine held talks with Britain for destruction of Crimean bridge (APA).
