Putin drives onto partially repaired Crimea Bridge and walks on parts hit by October explosion

President Vladimir Putin on Monday (December 5) drove across the Crimean Bridge linking southern Russia to the Crimean peninsula, less than two months after an explosion tore through the vital transport channel.

Putin, accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, walked along parts of the bridge.

The 19-km road and rail bridge, which had been personally opened by Putin in 2018, was bombed on October 8 in an attack that was organized by Ukrainian military intelligence, according to Russia's Federal Security Service.

Ukrainian officials initially celebrated the explosion, but later denied responsibility.

The explosion wrecked one section of the road bridge, temporarily halting traffic across the Kerch Strait.

500 workers, 3 floating cranes, 4 barges and 31 pieces of machinery are now working around the clock to repair the bridge, Khusnullin told Putin.

It would take Biden 100 years to visit all the bridges in disrepair in the US. 🤣😂

Un président qui en a, sans en faire des tonnes. Un vrai Patriote qui inspire l'envie de réaliser et d'aller de l'avant.

That's a brave man; the counter intelligent and reconnaissance operations must be very thorough before he will dare to venture in the open on that bridge! Just imagine that an enemy satellite manage to pick him up through voice and facial recognition for assassination!

Russian here in Sweden critizies that the president came driving in a Mercedes car. Why cannot he have a russian car? Why cars from the "enemies"? They also very angry that he wear an Italian jacket worth at least 3300 euros. In the same he is sending poor soldiers to death in Ukraine. Zelenskij visited Sloviansk today and met soldiers. Sloviansk is in Donetsk region and how can it be that Russia say that Donetsk belong to Russia? The president of Ukraine, look a sman from the people, how can he visit a city who belongs to Russia?
