 Chonhar Bridge blasts significantly complicated logistics of Russian troops. Damage of the Chonhar Bridge, which connects the temporarily occupied Crimea with mainland Ukraine, has significantly complicated the logistics of the Russian military. The UK Ministry of Defence said this in a new intelligence update published on Twitter. It is noted that the route over the Chonhar bridges are the most direct route from Russia's Crimean Logistics Hub at Zankoi and the Zaporizia sector, where Russia is currently defending against a major Ukrainian offensive. The temporary closure of the route caused vital Russian logistics convoys to take at least 50% longer to reach the front via alternative routes, the report says. At the same time, reports indicate that Russian authorities almost certainly constructed a pontoon bridge replacement crossing within 24 hours of the attack. It is highly likely that crossings are limited to military traffic only. The speed with which an alternate crossing was constructed indicates how vital this route is to the Russian military efforts in occupied Ukraine, the report says. As reported on June 22, the Chonhar Bridge, which links the temporarily occupied Crimea with mainland Ukraine, was attacked and traffic was blocked. In addition, the old bridge across Sivash was also hit. The head of the Joint Press Centre of the Operational Command South, Natalya Hemenyuk, said that due to the Chonhar Bridge blast, the Russian forces are using the Armyansk direction, which is much closer to the positions of the Ukraine's armed forces, and thus the enemy is getting nervous.
