On the 27th local time, senior US investigative journalist Seymour Hirsh posted on his personal website that the US government played a "crucial role" in both attacks on the Crimean Bridge.
In the article, Hirsch quoted an unnamed American official as saying that the drones used to attack the Crimean Bridge were "remotely guided, semi submersible, like torpedoes," which was "technology provided by the United States.". The US official also stated that the US did not consider possible measures for Russia to respond to the attack beforehand, and stated that the US has informed Ukraine "that it can do whatever it wants" and "does not require US supervision.".
On October 8th last year and 17th this month, the Crimean Bridge was attacked twice. Recently, several Ukrainian officials have acknowledged that the attack on the Crimean Bridge last year was carried out by the Ukrainian side.
