After Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the multiple missile attacks on Ukrainian cities were “retaliation” for an explosion over the weekend that damaged a critical bridge connecting Russia to Crimea, Ukrainian officials accused Russia of planning the civilian attacks in advance.

They should take the bridge out totally.
WHERE WARS ARE WON OR LOST ??
Wars are waged by older men
In battle rooms in countries apart.
Who call for greater firepower
And troops for the combat chart.
While out among the shattered flesh
The dreams of all have turned gray.
So young and determined their faces were
Till on the battlefield they lay.
Unable to overcome their pride
The politicians cast their vote.
For this or that or something else
As the rage of war sounds its note.
Wherever wars are won or lost
The soldiers fall like toys.
Down through history it remains the same
Most who die are hardly more than boys.
Like monkeys in a revolving cage
Man squabbles for the peanuts of power.
When will we rise above our greed
And become as a beautiful flower?
Death to death, dust to dust
The wrath of war is a hideous crime.
It’s our beast within that still prevails
As it has through the torments of time.

I wonder what the civilian population of Crimea that is on location & witnessed the bridge explosion has to say? Too bad western media doesn't have journalist on the ground. Or if they do whatever info they are providing must be being censored.

Just like the Ukrainians have been shelling civilians since 2014.
Putin blew up the bridge himself?
230 days: Putin's Russia attack Ukraine civilians in revenge for sabotaging the Crimea bridge.
Lest we forget, it was America NOT Russia who last used nuclear weapons on Japan 77 years ago.
While Ukraine sacrifices their own citizens as collateral damage
"Preparing" for a missile attack.. ? What.. like flipping up the cover on the launch button?
Make video not image because image for propaganda or provoke
Take putin out NOW !
🔐 trump 🆙
Vote Blue 🌊
Fake news USA
Well Ukraine killed 3 civilians on Russian soil on a bridge. Ain't no different if Mexico attacks US soil. What do you think was going to happen be real. These propagandists media love war.. Rather then question Ukraine action. They celebrate it. Makes no sense.
Putin is such a child throwing his toys out of the cot. At least he only has a limited supply of cruise missiles.
What needs to happen now is for Ukraine to take out Russian ships that are firing these missiles from the Black Sea.
Actually, I'm sort of thinking that Putin 'did' the bridge. Lots of reasons that could be given for that. It bothered me that Russia stated the number of deaths all being those in surrounding vehicles with no mention of including the truck driver. Stupid little thing, I know. Strategically it would be an easy sell to civilians in Russia and Crimea that it was done by Ukraine. Perhaps helping to boost the will to fight for the Motherland in all those freshly conscripted kids. A 'reason' to further bomb civilian structures (not that he needed one before). It would certainly stir things a bit in having everyone in a small region of 'Russia' facing rationing on food, fuel, etc. Something Russia (proper) hasn't really had a taste of per se. Then the fact that they have quickly managed to partially reopen the bridge for use.
I think Ukraine had just as many motives. Somehow, though, I think they would have done more damage.
What can I say. It's just a feeling. I'm willing to be corrected.
Yes, Crimea, hello Americans, take care that the vaccines and with the corobona will arrive and the former virus corvorona, be careful the war with pills and with adverse reactions to the buildings, do not vomit, you can have
West media never telecast the truth .
Raft of soldiers & civilians was killed
Who is civilians? Including Ukraine soldiers
That's what happens when you touch another man's bridge
Keep the propagand running
Ha, he was definitely coming back, just getting started on that.
You go Putin
Putin has a talent for galvanizing the whole world against him. The coward will hang for his crimes.
Putin wanted a headline other than he continues to lose occupied territory, which he's still losing.
"Several Ukrainians killed"
No really? What else happens during a war, will several Ukranians poop butterflies? How about that Ukraine president give USA back all that money and weapons since he doesnt know how to use it, Russia won, now Biden needs to focus on fixing things here in New York City.
These people are liars man, USA has given this country billions and its a waste. The ukraine president is on social media trying to build followers. He should turn himself in to Putin so the attacks stop. Biden needs to support NYC for all these migrants he has in this country
Glory to ukraine
Humpty Dumpty … dude can’t check his 6… no neck
To all the reporters at NBC
You will all be partakers in the wrath of God that is being poured out without indignation
The Russian military planning is incompetent. Zero chance they could plan something in a day.
Haha bridge go brrrrr
"Ukrainian Officials (say Trum)Putin Had Civilian Attacks ‘In The Works’ Before Crimea Bridge Explosion" so let's #ConvinceItForward
KIEV M$M is COMPLICIT in WARMONGERING PROPAGANDA for the MIC, it's despicable.
Also Ukrainian Officials: "There are no neo-naxis and US biolabs in Ukraine."
Americans Rootin' for Putin! Get those Azov Nazis.
U$ MIC M$M PROPAGANDA is like Disneyland real.
Western media can't handle the truth. Should have stayed away from Crimea bridge. 😂
Russia did this even worse in February and March…nothing changed.
In 2022 USA, "freedom loving" Republicans are cheering on Russia.
Do Republicans even know what a Communist/Communism is?
Can make anything up. Putin had a plot to kidnap the pope also
If true, ukraine shouldnt have attacked the bridge. Ukraine command admitting they knew ukrainian people would die, but they attacked the bridge anyway…..
Ukraine 😁😁😁😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Russia is a terrorist state.
Pray for Ukraine
