The bridge currently provides the safest road connection from the Russian mainland to Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
Kyiv’s forces have managed to halt traffic on the bridge with two separate attacks since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022. Once with a truck bomb and once with naval drones. Russia has managed to repair the damage.
Now the British newspaper The Guardian is quoting Ukrainian intelligence officials saying Ukraine is planning a third attack, has the means to carry it out and expects to destroy the bridge by the summer.
