" The attack on the Crimean bridge caused certain logistics problems, however, the interlocutors of journalists.
In particular, the supply of the Russian army was complicated, it is not clear what to do with ten thousand tourists, as stuck on the peninsula. Events show that Putin weakened-did not fulfill the promises he took on after annexation, when he guaranteed 100 percent safety.
