Peskov: Putin has ordered the protection of all critical infrastructure, including the Crimean Bridge

Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed that all critical infrastructure be protected, including the Crimean Bridge, Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said at a press briefing.

“The supreme commander has long been issued with directives, and all necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safety of all critical infrastructure, including the Crimean Bridge,” Peskov noted.

Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly announced their intention to dismantle the bridge and have attempted to do so several times since the start of the Russian military operation. However, all these attempts have been unsuccessful due to the actions of Russian security forces and the design features of the bridge.
