Putin accuses Ukraine of Crimea bridge blast ‘terrorism’

Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of being behind the Kerch bridge explosion, masterminding an “act of terrorism” that destroyed part of the crucial link between Russia and the annexed territory of Crimea, as calls grow for reprisals.

The bridge, which holds important strategic and symbolic value to Russia, was partly damaged on Saturday by what Moscow has said was a truck bomb. Road and rail traffic on the 19km (12-mile) bridge was temporarily halted, hindering a vital supply route for Russia’s armed forces battling a renewed Ukrainian counteroffensive.

blowing up a logistical roadway of the enemy used to transport supplies for military in a very targeted fashion during a war is considered "terrorism", but indiscriminately bombing civilian buildings is not?

Typical class bully, get's upset when he's hit back at. SlavaUkraini!

[bruceogilvie]

Attack on legitimate military target = Terrorism, while Attacks on Civilians = Liberation. He also is peaking on the moronic meter.

[kevinbarry]

Putin broke the irony meter. Not to mention the hypocrisy meter.

[garyhibbert]

[Zaf]

[ericconnor]

The irony is rising faster than a Russian tank turret

[HYLOS]

[JimiJo]

Civilian infrastructure! He’s trying to be more like Zelenskyy, a comedian. He made me laugh.

[DS-zrpw]

So what has Russia been doing in Ukraine till now?

[professordick]

It was a Special Bridge Operation from Russia.

[aussieatheist]

It's wasn't terrorism Putin, it was a special military operation!!

[geoms]

I wouldn't be surprised if Putin blew up the bridge to stop those fleeing military conscription.

[anthonyplacide]

Act teorist? 😂 But it's okay for Russia to destroy everything in Ukraine? 🤔

[jasongarry]

Where do they find these people, direct correlation what...?? They are lobbing missiles at civilians during rush hour. Ukrainians hitting a bridge that carries weapons in illegally seized territory.

[FunkcijaDijagonale]

The bridge is a major supply line for keeping the war going. Apartment blocks in Ukraine where babushkas live are not

[zubemoodyuo]

and what he is doing in Ukraine is it a samaritan work ??

[thorfinthorfin]

Putin is getting closer to seeing what it would look like if he was fighting NATO. In 9 months Putin in can't take Kiev and is loosing ground daily.

Classic pathetic Stalin move here. "My armed forces are incompetent so I'll perform more war crimes to make myself feel like a big man."
