Putin stated that the Crimean bridge wanted to build for King Nicholas II and Stalin (video)

According to the Russian President, such a "historical decision" was made before the current authorities of the Russian Federation. In particular, the first decision to build a bridge through the Kerch Strait seemed to be made by Tsar Nicholas II, and the second decision was Joseph Stalin. Putin stressed that the current authorities only implemented these decisions, but made with "glitter".

"They did it with the ordinary glitter inherent in you," Putin said Putin on the construction of the Crimean Bridge Putin almost immediately after the occupation of Crimea in 2014. The bridge consists of two parts - road and rail. Actually, the occupants were opened for travel in 2018. The railway passed in 2019. Back in 2018, the media wrote that the Crimean bridge became one of the most expensive in the world. Its construction cost about $ 4 billion.

In particular, in the United States, the bridge was negatively responded. When journalists wrote, the US State Department called Russia an attempt to consolidate the illegal occupation of the peninsula. In addition, in July this year, Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that the Crimean bridge was not legally built and it should be destroyed. According to the President, it is a "hostile object" for Ukraine. The explosions on the Crimean bridge were reported twice - in October 2022 and in July this year.

So, on October 8, railway tanks with fuel broke out on the bridge. As a result, two road spans were damaged. Then the Security Service of Ukraine did not directly confirm their involvement in the explosion. However, referring to their own sources, journalists wrote that it was a special operation of the SBU. Also, explosions on the Crimean bridge were reported on July 17. It was reported that he was probably attacked by surface drones. Actually, the explosions were damaged by the roadway and spans.
