Russia is guarding the bridge connecting Crimea as if President Vladimir Putin is going to set up his office here. Hundreds of CCTVs, missile systems and even warships have been deployed. Let us know why the Kerch Bridge connecting Crimea is so important for President Putin?
Crimea, that part of Ukraine which was captured by Russia a few years ago. Ukraine intends to regain this area. Since the start of the war, it has tried several times to separate Crimea from Russia. The only bridge connecting Crimea and Russia is the Kerch Bridge, which is on Ukraine's target. Now Russia has increased the security of this bridge. The security is as if Putin is about to open his office here. Unprecedented security arrangements have been made. In view of the continuous attacks, the security of the Crimea Bridge has been made impenetrable.
Warships have been deployed on both sides of the bridge. Air defense systems are deployed from both sides. There is also information about making an artificial wall by submerging one ship on both sides under water. The ship wall has been built to prevent any attack from underwater. Thousands of CCTV cameras are being monitored all around the bridge. Complete screening of people and vehicles coming and going on the bridge is being done. Hundreds of security personnel have been deployed in the bridge area. Crimea Bridge is being given Kremlin-like security.
The only bridge connecting Russia to Crimea
The Kerch Bridge is strategically very important for Russia. It connects Krasnodar region of Russia with Crimea. This area was captured by Russia in 2014. President Vladimir Putin considers Crimea a part of Russia. This bridge is also a symbolic one for Putin. That is in the sense that when they captured this area, there was no way to connect it to Russia. Vladimir Putin built a 12-mile long bridge with the intention of occupying the entire Ukraine. It is considered to be the longest bridge in Europe. He spent 3.7 billion dollars on this. It took four years to complete.
Putin's intention can be gauged from the fact that when he arrived to inaugurate this bridge, he was seen here with full robe. Ukraine attacked this bridge twice and destroyed the bridge. Recently the reconstruction work of Kerch Bridge has been completed. On Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have destroyed an unknown Ukrainian ship. The ministry said that it was trying to damage the ship bridge.
First the oil tanker, then Ukraine destroyed it
Last year, the bridge was badly damaged due to an oil tanker blast. After this the bridge was rebuilt. Later, Ukraine destroyed the bridge again with a missile attack. Due to this, the difficulties of Vladimir Putin also increased. Ukraine says that the removal of the Russian occupation is part of its war policy. Meanwhile, it was learned that Putin is conducting voting in the recently partially occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson, including Crimea. The United Nations has rejected this effort of Putin. Putin has already tried to merge these four regions into Russia by holding a plebiscite.
