For example, the same airfields from which planes fly out for rockets and bombs. "And this is not the fact that it is the bridge, the Kerch bridge that everyone is talking about.

We are talking about several infrastructure things that are military goals. It is a bridge, these are airfields from which planes fly," he said. According to Zelensky, all this is legitimate goals.

Also, national security expert Viktor Yang told focus that it is difficult to destroy the Crimean bridge, but the land rail in the south is easy. According to him, Ukraine does not have such a rocket that could strike 20 tons of TNT equivalent, as during a truck explosion during a GUR operation.
