Kerch Bridge is a legitimate target for the Armed Forces of Ukraine - retired US Navy admiral.

Retired US Navy admiral Mark Montgomery stated that the Kerch Bridge is an important military target that can be attacked.

He said this in an interview with the Ukrainian service of the Voice of America.

In my opinion, the Kerch Bridge has strategic significance. It is a symbol of Russia imposing its will on Crimea, but it also has tactical value, part of the logistics passes through it. I would say that there is also a ferry crossing that is equally or even more important for logistics. Therefore, from my point of view, they should strike both targets

Montgomery emphasized that the Kerch Bridge is a legitimate military target for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

I think it is a legitimate military target. And since they (the Ukrainians) have the weapons needed to strike, they should probably consider it. But they should also weigh where else they can use this weapon, because (Ukraine) has a limited number of long-range ATACAMS missiles or other systems. So, within this balance, I think the Kerch Bridge is still a legitimate target that is likely to be hit, but I would also say that they should also do something about the ferries. However, surface drones can also do something about it. So I think it should be a combination of strikes

Montgomery emphasized that destroying the Russian military-technical potential in Crimea is important for the subsequent counterattack and liberation of Crimea, if that happens.
