Ukraine President Zelensky Says Crimea Bridge Must Be 'Neutralized'

 

Kyiv Independent: Zelensky: The Crimean Bridge must be neutralized  

During a speech at the Aspen Security Forum, Ukrainian President stated that the Crimean bridge is a legitimate target for Ukraine and must be "neutralized."

"The Crimean Bridge is not just a logistical road. This is the road that is used to feed the war with ammunition. And it militarizes the Crimean Peninsula. This is an enemy facility built outside international law, so understandably, it is a [military] objective," President Zelensky stated. "And any target that is bringing war must be neutralized." 

The President also emphasized that the counteroffensive is progressing more slowly than expected because the operation started later than originally planned. According to Zelensky, Russia had more time to mine Ukrainian land and build several lines of defense.
