New footage is coming out showing Crimea's bridge partially destroyed as a result of explosions. This is the bridge Putin built in 2019.

Crimea does not have a land bridge to Russia. So after its annexation in 2014, Putin built Russia's longest bridge ever to connect Crimea with mainland russia. It holds symbolic value for his regime.

It also cuts off the main supply route to the Russian army in the Southern, occupied parts of Ukraine (there's one other route, but Ukraine's pretty much all over that area at this point, while Crimea was far safer for transportation). It's symbolic, but it also has major impact on the war in general. Think of it as the equivalent of a major rail system being destroyed, or a major airport, that was used to supply goods to an army in a war.

Russia has far more people to throw on the front line (some of those fighting are unwilling, even) and so can overwhelm Ukraine in terms of numbers. So one of the main ways Ukraine can stop the war is to make it to difficult (expensive, time consuming, etc.) for Russia to keep supplying their forces versus a 'conventional' defeat. If you can't get food and weapons to your troops-or you can but it's insanely expensive-the war then becomes untenable.

Putin is probably going to lose his sh*t. This is one of his 'crown jewels' as people say. Praying that his response isn't another war crime against Ukraine.
