Russia yesterday criticized Ukraine’s response to the explosion that damaged the Crimean Bridge, a major structure and a symbol of Russia’s annexation of the peninsula, saying it was indicative of Kyiv’s “terrorist nature”. “The reaction of the Kyiv regime to the damage to civilian infrastructure testifies to its terrorist nature,” said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. Ukraine taunted and joked after a car bomb exploded on a bridge without going so far as to claim responsibility for the explosion. Television footage posted online showed a massive explosion on a Moscow-built bridge connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland. In these photos, the source of the explosion appears to be a white truck that was driving across the bridge at night along with several other vehicles. The explosion damaged the highway and railroad. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry compared the attack to the operation that allowed the cruiser Moskva to sink in the Black Sea in April. He was considered “another symbol of Russian power in the Ukrainian Crimea.” “What else are the Russians waiting for?” she wrote on Twitter. For their part, the Kyiv security forces posted on Telegram a reworked poem by the Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko about “The sun rises on a burning bridge.” “Today is an ideal opportunity to get acquainted with some of Taras Shevchenko’s poems,” she said. “Ukrainian Post announced that it was preparing to print stamps depicting the ‘Crimean Bridge, or rather what was left of it.'” In Moscow, a Kremlin spokesman told RIA Novosti that Vladimir Putin ordered the formation of a government fact-finding commission.Russian news agencies reported that rail and road traffic had been halted and ferries were set up to cross.The Russian Investigative Committee, the country’s top investigative body, promised to find “all persons involved in this crime” and The head of the Russian-created Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, condemned the strike by “Ukrainian saboteurs.” The RIA Novosti news agency quoted Russian MP Oleg Morozov as calling for an “adequate” response on Saturday, stressing that “terrorist attacks of this type will multiply” if don’t do it. In addition, at least 14 people were killed in the shelling of the city of Zaporozhye (southern Ukraine), on which seven rockets were fired on Thursday morning, an official Ukrainian source said. “The sad news comes to us thanks to the analysis of the rubble of buildings damaged by shelling,” City Council Secretary Anatoly Kortev said on the Telegram app on Friday evening. At the moment, the death toll has risen to 14. The first results of Thursday spoke of one dead and seven injured. On Friday, Ukraine’s Office of Emergency Situations raised the death toll to eleven. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Telegram on Friday that Zaporizhzhya is “under massive rocket fire on a daily basis,” condemning a “deliberate crime.” The Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporozhye is in the eponymous district, and Moscow has declared it annexed, although it does not control it completely. It’s about sixty kilometers northeast of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which has been occupied by the Russians since early March, and Moscow and Kyiv have been exchanging accusations of bombing it for months.
