Russia Halts Military Use of Crimea Bridge Amid Ukraine's Persistent Strikes

Following sustained attacks, Russia diverts military logistics from the strategic Crimea Bridge, using alternative routes through occupied territories.

• Satellite imagery analysis by Molfar reveals no military freight movement on Crimea Bridge over recent months, signaling a shift in Russian logistics.
• Ukraine's targeted assaults on the bridge have diminished its role as a key military supply route, prompting Russia to develop new railway lines in occupied regions.
• The new railway connections aim to link Russian-occupied cities directly, bypassing the increasingly vulnerable Crimea Bridge.
• Despite reduced military utility, the Crimea Bridge remains a potent symbol of occupation and resistance, with both sides recognizing its strategic and emotional significance.
• Ukrainian intelligence suggests focusing future offensives on these alternative supply routes to further disrupt Russian military operations.
