Putin targets cities, Zelensky left in the lurch after ‘Plan Kerch’? | Explained

The Kerch bridge attack triggered a massive wave of ruthless missile strikes on Ukraine. On Saturday, a truck explosion on the roadway caused 7 fuel tanks on a train to ignite. Propaganda-wise, a huge boost for Ukrainian morale & a shock to Russian civilians. 2 sections of the road bridge fell into the waters below & at least three people died. The bridge attack damaged a key supply route for kremlin’s war effort in south Ukraine. Furious, Putin dubbed the bridge explosion 'a terrorist act by Ukraine Special Services'. Revenge strikes targeted at least 9 cities in a wide-spanning attack, including Kyiv. Logistics supplying Russia’s Southern front (centred around Kherson) run through Crimea.
