Pletenchuk named the sole reason why the Crimean Bridge has not yet been destroyed.

The Crimean Bridge still stands thanks to tight security

Spokesman of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmytro Pletenchuk, explains that the reason the Crimean Bridge in occupied Crimea has not been destroyed is due to the very strong protection of this structure. He stated this during his participation in a telethon.

Pletenchuk explained that the occupiers occasionally close traffic across the bridge due to any hints of air alerts. He also added that the occupiers constantly maintain a high level of defense capabilities on the peninsula, as many strategically important facilities are concentrated in this region, including the Crimean Bridge itself and military infrastructure.
