Ukrainian Forces Destroy Key Russian Railway Bridge Near Mariupol

The destruction disrupts Russia's logistics strategy, setting back months of supply planning and further straining Russian forces in southern Ukraine.

• Ukrainian forces have destroyed a partially built railway bridge near the occupied city of Mariupol, which was part of Russia's plan to establish a direct railway from Russia to Mariupol.
• The bridge was a key component of Russia's logistics strategy, aimed at improving supply lines to its forces in southern Ukraine.
• The destruction of the bridge sets back almost half a year of Russian supply planning, according to Stefan Korsha, a senior defense correspondent at Kyiv Post.
• Ukrainian forces have been consistently attacking Russian supply lines since Russia widened its war on Ukraine in February 2022.
• The destruction of the bridge further squeezes and starves Russian regiments and brigades in the south, contributing to the ongoing resistance by Ukrainian forces.
