UKR22-11P: UKRAINE WAR 2022 - Block 'M' Bombing of the CRIMEAN BRIDGE - KERCH

October 8, 2022 - Ukraine partially destroys the "Crimean Bridge", a Russian symbol of the annexation of Crimea

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------

In the eyes of Ukrainians, the symbol could not be stronger. The announcement of an explosion on the bridge built in the wake of the annexation of Crimea by Russia was seen as a great victory in the context of the army's counter-offensives Ukrainian. This act of sabotage, probably carried out by the Ukrainian secret services (SBU), is compared to the strike which in April sank the Russian warship “Moskva” in the Black Sea.

Ukrainian artist Yurii Shapoval's fantasy about the inevitable fate of the bridge over the Kerch Strait is embodied in the sketch for the postage stamp "The Crimean Bridge Encore!". Issued in November 2022, he compares the destruction of the “Crimean Bridge” to the sinking of the Titanic.
