Ukrainian Presidential Office Advisor Mykhailo Podolyak described the explosion on the Crimean Bridge in the Kerch Strait, which connects the Crimea to Russian territory, as “the beginning” and said “Everything illegal must be destroyed, everything stolen must be returned to Ukraine,”

Despite the statement that a fire in the fuel tanks caused the explosion on the 19-kilometer Crimean Bridge, which has been strategically importance since it was annexed by Russia in 2014, an investigating into the incident is being carried out to determine whether it was an attack or not.
