Russia scrambles to protect Kerch Bridge from Ukraine missile attacks | Details

Published on Jul 07, 2022 09:34 pm IST

A crucial strategic link - The Kerch Bridge connects Crimea to mainland Russia. Russia built the longest bridge in Europe after the 2014 annexation of Crimea. Russian President Putin himself drove a truck across to open the bridge in 2018. Once Russia wins entire Donbas, the bridge will help control the Black Sea coast. Via Kerch, Russia could control shipping into Ukraine’s ports on the Sea of Azov.
