The occupiers have lost nearly half of the barges near the Kerch Bridge.

Near the Kerch Bridge, due to autumn-winter storms, the Russians have lost approximately half of the barges. This is reported by the monitoring group 'Crimean Wind'.

According to the monitoring group, a satellite image at the beginning of December showed 18 barges near the Crimean Bridge, which has slowed down compared to the beginning of November when there were 34. At the same time, no one is restoring the barriers.

It is reminded that the occupiers are trying to protect marine drones from strikes with the help of barges. For the first time, the Russians used 'river-sea' class barges to protect the Kerch Bridge in 2023. At that time, seven vessels were tied up with chains near the bridge to protect its supports.

Ukraine is experiencing the 1046th day of the full-scale war.

Over the past day, 138 combat clashes have been recorded. Ukrainian defenders are actively resisting the enemy and striking on Ukrainian territory.

The situation in the Pokrovsk, Kurakhiv, and Vremiv directions remains tense as the enemy increases its forces for an offensive.
