The Kiev regime has finally claimed responsibility for last autumn’s attack on the Crimean Bridge, calling it a “milestone” for Ukraine.
On July 8, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Anna Maliar published a post on Telegram commemorating 500 days since the start of the conflict between Kiev and Moscow, outlining several highlights.
The list includes an apparent public acknowledgment of Kiev’s role in the attack on the key link between the eastern part of the Russian peninsula and the rest of the country.
“[It has been] 273 days since the first strike was conducted on the Crimean bridge to break the Russian logistics,” Maliar wrote.
The Crimean Bridge was damaged in a truck explosion last October. Several people were killed in the attack, which also damaged the bridge. Moscow called the explosion back then a “terror attack” masterminded by the Ukrainian intelligence services, and responded by intensifying missile strikes on Ukrainian energy and military infrastructure. The bridge has been fully repaired since.
The Ukrainian acknowledgment came after Turkey released the leaders of the nationalist Azov battalion, who were captured by the Russian military during the battle of Mariupol.
President Volodymyr Zelensky collected the five previously imprisoned nationalist leader during his recent trip to Turkey. Russia was not informed of the decision to release them.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Sputnik that the return of the nationalist leaders from Turkey to Ukraine is a violation of the terms of the existing agreements both on the part of Ankara and Kiev.
“The return of the Azov leaders from Turkey to Ukraine is nothing more than a direct violation of the terms of the existing agreements. Moreover, in this case, the conditions were violated by both the Ukrainian side and the Turkish side,” Peskov said
No one informed Moscow about the step, the Kremlin spokesman said, adding that under the terms of the agreements reached, the Azov leaders had been supposed to stay in Turkiye until the end of the Ukraine conflict.
Peskov went on to link the surprising Turkish decision to release the five nationalist leaders to the failure of Kiev’s ongoing counteroffensive.
“This decision to hand over the Azov commanders to Zelensky in violation of the existing agreements, to return them to Ukraine, is certainly directly related to the failures of the counteroffensive. These are failures that the troops of the Kiev regime currently face every day,” Peskov said.
However, the Kremlin spokesman stressed that Russia understands very well that a lot of pressure was exerted on Turkey in the context of preparations for the upcoming NATO summit, and Ankara, being a member of the alliance, shows solidarity with it.
“Of course, preparations for the NATO summit are underway, and of course, in the context of this preparation, a lot of pressure was exerted on Turkey. And Turkey itself, of course, being a member of NATO, demonstrates its solidarity with the North Atlantic Alliance. We understand all this very well,” Peskov said.
The violation of the Turkish-brokered prisoners agreement shows that a political settlement for the conflict in Ukraine is still unrealistic. The Kiev regime now has a track record of violating agreements. Even the grain deal will likely collapse soon.

you probably understand that the nazi swastika is something that only a nazi would tattoo onto his arse…
… and all your little ukronazi bumbandit bedmates has a big fat swastika on their arses!
and you know this, because you get to look at all of them up close and personal (yeah, that’s right, everyone knows).
so this really spills the beans – you’re a paid basement troll, dude, and everyone knows it!
to the russians who needed to inform that they have a lying government , prighozhin already did , they already know that ukraine did not attack anyone and that there are no nazis in ukraine , he said with all the letters , the old russian hero was very explicit , that leaves the trolls with 2 brains like you
are you 10 years old? in 2014, there was a coup d’état in kiev, after which the persecution and killing of ukrainian russians began. lots of videos on this site. novorussia declared independence due to this persecution and the ukrainian government responded with cannons and airstrikes – starting a full-scale war.
it wasn’t until 2022 that russia intervened in the genocide like the usa intervened in the war in yugoslavia
p.s. this site has numerous videos as evidence of ukrainian nazis with tattoos.
yes, she is 10 yrs old.

ukraïna delenda est, no matter who backs the nazi junta, it is sealed its fate
if that is as good as they can do with an undercover, non-military sabotage operation, it does not amount to much.
wasting all the western ‘wunderwaffe’ and blowing a good deal of it in a 34 day offensive should be instructive.
it does not look like a good showing for them to the nato church ladies in vilnius this week. most of the smaller nato countries behave like a ‘me too’ monty python skit.
the azov commanders may get a second chance to die for the zionist midget and the bridge may be a milestone for a small mind in a loosing battle but i wonder what they think they are fighting for if anything other than western money.
zelenskyy isn’t in the front line, why would any of those guys go to the front line?
because in nazi ukraine, your home will be confiscated, your car, etc. your family will be labelled traitors and might get duct taped to a lamp pole & tortured, your family will be tormented by neo nazi everywhere they go. you go to prison then you go directly to the front in penal brigade and used as bullet stopper.
so one can speak killing nazi commander in chief zalushnyi piece of shit is also a milestone.
the european have dedicated themselves to fund ukraine until at least 2027.
so there is no end in this war comming anywher soon.
1/3 of funding through a direct position in the eu budget
1/3 of funding through loans
1/3 of funding through the money confiscated from russia
the fact that they admit they did this together with the turkish new position
to send the asovs back home and to demand nato membership for ukraine
shows that the confidence of the west is unbroken.
bloody fucc. but that’s not going to help them in any ways.
it just means the west does not want to end this any time soon.
they probably plan to use the right sector troops like al quaida/ taliban sort insurgency.
they probably think that at some point russia will brake and do not care how much of ukraine or eastern europe gets destroyed until that point.
ukraine are sleazy lying rats, can’t be trusted, word not worth shit.
and funny enough, that hasent changed in 100 years.
azov is mi6/cia frakenstein to control ukraine politics.. explosives used to bomb the kersh bridge were suggested to be frm uk i believe
azov is just a bunch of queers interested in other queers.
ukrotardistan – manages 1 hit on a bridge in 500 days.
russia – registered 271 hits on power grid systems between last october and this march, over 1/2 of ukrotardistan’s power generation capabilities are damaged with some damaged or destroyed for good.
ukrotard’s “we are winning”
