Red-faced Putin labels Crimea bridge explosion 'act of terrorism'

Putin labels Crimean bridge explosion 'act of terrorism' | red-faced Vladimir Putin has branded the attack on a bridge in Crimea a 'terror attack' and blamed Ukrainian special forces for the explosion which severely damaged the key link to the Russian mainland.

Speaking ahead of a meeting with his Security Council tomorrow, the livid Russian president said the blast at the Kerch bridge was designed to destroy 'critically important civilian infrastructure'.

He declared that the attack was a terrorist incident, a move that could open the door for further escalation in the war that has raged in Ukraine since Russia's illegal invasion in February.

The hypocrisy is absolutely appalling.

[mljcombrink]

Would like to know what label Putin gives for the civilian houses and civilian buildings his taking out...???

[jamiehobson]

Putin: Blowing up a bridge is an act of terrorism
Also Putin: Launches 75 missiles on civilian populations

[robloxfan]

Hes crying over a bridge yet theres Ukraine which is having whole citys destroyed

[richardpoynton]

It wasn’t terrorism, it was a special infrastructure demolition.

How can an attack by an enemy you're at war with be a terrorist act? That's not terrorism, that's warfare!

[treesurgeon]

This was a Ukrainian special military operation, not terrorism.

I'd love to have seen Putin when he first received the news. I'll bet he would have outdone the worst tantrum any toddler has ever thrown.

[nataliehladun]

Hypocrite !!!- what would you label your bombing and slaughtering of civilians, including children in the streets - shame!!!

[LordBudge]

Technically it was. Unless a state or country admits it 😏 🇺🇸

[GOTTAGOGETIT]

Can't claim terrorism during a war

[rationalgazer]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 imagine being THIS invulnerable to irony... it must be so calming.

[UKDrillTV.]

Okay so they destory a bridge and its a act of terrorism but he is aloud to threaten people with nuclear ahhnilation which is even illegal to talk about or threaten people with but then hes sad about a bridge 🤦🏻‍♂️

[FrostThorn]

If that's terror attack then wtf does he call what he's doing

[johnelliott]

I expect they will finish the job off who ever did it but it’s certainly thrown a spanner 🔧 in the works

[scarletloki]

Oh yeh but what he does is perfectly fine huh 😂

[fishmud]

Lots of coincidences lately. The US Navy just happened to be 30 nautical miles away from the Nord stream pipeline days before the explosion, and the British Navy were training Ukrainian forces near to Crimea too. Hmmmm

[BlackWolf]

Has anyone noticed a super fancy watch on the guy who’s interviewing Putin?

[jeremiahcoade]

The first casualty of war…… the truth.
