Release time:Apr 14, 2024 03:53 AM

On July 8th, Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Defense Mariyar acknowledged on social media that the Ukrainian military carried out an attack on the Crimean Bridge last year.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova responded on July 9th, condemning the Kiev government as a "terrorist regime.".

Why did Ukraine suddenly admit to attacking the Crimean Bridge at this time?

After a gap of 273 days,

Ukraine admits to attacking the Crimean Bridge

On October 8th last year, a truck exploded on the road bridge of the Crimean Bridge, causing seven oil tanks on a freight train on a railway bridge parallel to the bridge to be ignited. Some sections of the road bridge were damaged and collapsed, causing widespread international public attention. At that time, Ukrainian President Zelensky denied this and claimed that Ukraine had not planned an attack on the bridge.

However, Marial's statement forcefully slapped Zelensky in the face.

Regarding the sudden change in tone on the Ukrainian side, military observer Shao Yongling explained.

Shao Yongling:

Ukraine currently has no willingness to negotiate, so it is concerned that once the war situation subsides, Western countries will push for peace talks with Russia. Ukraine's revelation of the attack on the Crimean Bridge before the NATO summit on July 11th is aimed at stimulating Russia and keeping the situation tense.

In addition, this is the Ukrainian military's "brushing presence". In recent times, the progress of the Ukrainian military's counterattack has not been smooth, and there have been constant voices of disappointment both domestically and internationally. At this time, the Ukrainian military is also revealing that it is capable.

Zelensky may not have known

Shao Yongling further analyzed and believed that it is also possible that Zelensky was not aware of the attack at the time, as Ukraine's internal structure was not completely rigid.

Shao Yongling:

Ukraine did not attack the Crimean Bridge by launching long-range missiles, but by transporting explosives to the bridge in a way similar to special operations, causing damage to the bridge through an explosion in a tanker truck.

The secret plan of a few people could carry out this operation, and Zelensky may not have been aware of it.

Why was the Crimean Bridge bombed

According to the data, the Crimean Bridge is a dual-purpose bridge spanning the Kerch Strait, connecting Crimea and southern Russia. It is an energy trade channel for Russia to enter the Black Sea and even the Mediterranean Sea from the Sea of Azov.

Shao Yongling believes that Ukraine's attack on the Crimean Bridge last year had both military and political strategic significance.

Shao Yongling:

When the city of Kherson was occupied by Russia, Russia provided logistical support to Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and other places through the Crimean Bridge, including transportation of heavy equipment, daily necessities, etc.

The Crimean Bridge is a necessary infrastructure to support Russian frontline soldiers in combat and daily life, and to ensure the supply of living for residents of the Crimean Peninsula.

The West remains silent on this matter

After Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Defense Mariyar acknowledged the attack in a statement, Western countries did not comment on it except for Russia's condemnation.

In Shao Yongling's view, this is a typical "double standard" for Western countries in the United States.

Shao Yongling:

Faced with similar actions by both Russia and Ukraine, the focus of the West is mainly to blame Russia.

In addition to attacking the Crimean Bridge, Ukraine also targeted targets on Russian soil and carried out drone attacks on Moscow. However, Western public opinion or politicians have not condemned Ukraine. This is a typical "double standard".

What impact will the incident bring to the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Ukraine changes its rhetoric and admits to attacking the Crimean Bridge. How will Russia retaliate next?

Shao Yongling observed that this incident may bring new changes to the overall situation, including Russia's strike mode.

Shao Yongling:

In the current stalemate on the battlefield, Russia may further increase its long-range precision strikes against Ukraine, including some important Ukrainian leaders.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
