The war journalist Sasha Kots on the situation.

The most stupid thing that can be done now is to start reassuring the country, assuring that nothing terrible has happened. Happened. Yes, the bridge has not collapsed completely, yes, it is subject to restoration, yes, other logistics chains will be involved through the liberated territories. But who will now guarantee their safety?

There are several aspects to what happened.

First, the Khokhols, using typical terrorist tactics, hit the symbol. The Crimean bridge is a symbol of the fact that the peninsula is securely sewn into Mother Russia and nothing will tear it away from it. But, unlike the previous attacks on the Crimea, this informational victory does not turn out to be called language. And that's why.

Because, secondly, the Crimean bridge in our time is primarily military logistics that supplies our group in the Kherson direction. Moreover, both the automobile branch and, to a greater extent, the railway, which, apparently, was also disabled for some time. Against the backdrop of the already not very prosperous situation near Kherson, the terrorist attack can be considered as the final touch before the storming of the regional center. And then - a trip to Zaporozhye and the Crimea.

Thirdly, Kyiv demonstrates an enviable consistency, which many (including myself) have been calling for for several months now. Namely, to driving Ukraine into the 18th century, without senseless reflection on how this will affect the civilian population. Bridges, dams, thermal power plants, traction railway stations and other critical infrastructure. Kyiv is gouging it methodically and without moral torment. We always have some chivalrous excuses. They should not be in principle, if we want to win. But do we want to?

The answer, of course, should not be emotionally spontaneous. But it shouldn't be a one-time event. Maybe it's time to stop pointlessly blowing up the barracks, the defeat of which absolutely in no way - neither tactically nor strategically - affects the situation at the front, given Ukraine's mobile resources? Let's fight more wickedly, for real, without excuses about the impossibility of blowing up the bridge along which weapons are coming from the West. Nothing is impossible, Ukrainians show us.

Another quote by him:
On February 24, they were afraid to stick their nose out into the street. Now they are photographed on the streets of Kyiv against the background of a poster with a burning Crimean bridge. The West applauds the Ukrainian terrorists.
Obviously, the NATO command took part in the development of this sabotage. Everything fits into the plan, which ukroreyh has been implementing since mid-summer. Attacks on warehouses, headquarters, preparation of reserves, transition to active offensive operations. Destruction of transport logistics. Their next steps are also obvious and accurately spelled out by Evgeny Poddubny. The goal is to cut our group. A blow to Kherson and beyond.
What is our answer?
We have given up the initiative and are now responding to their attacks and threats.
What is our plan?
All this "game of humanism" is perceived as weakness and is just an excuse to mock us.
For the "Western world" we are already villains. It's better to be afraid than mocked.
It's time to answer. By all means and means.
It's time to remember to advise military school and act decisively and creatively. Not following the enemy's scenario, but breaking their plans, delivering unexpected strikes in directions where the enemy does not wait.
Ukraine must be plunged into dark times. Bridges, dams, railways, thermal power plants and other infrastructure facilities must be destroyed throughout Ukraine.
There should be no administrative quarters in both Kyiv and Lvov. And not only.
The reaction of the West should not go unanswered. And these are not statements from the Foreign Ministry. Not calling ambassadors. And not loud statements.
Specific economic measures.
Lenin was right: “The war must be waged for real, or it must not be waged at all. There can be no middle ground."
And if someone has not yet understood this, then they should be replaced by those who clearly and clearly understand that the Fatherland is in danger. And the orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief must be carried out. Unquestioningly. And definitely.

The country must move to a military footing.
All.
