 Putin's Inner Circle doubts link between Ukraine and Moscow attack. Part of Russian President Vladimir Putin's Inner Circle believes there is no evidence linking Ukraine to the terrorist attack at Kroger City Hall near Moscow reports Bloomberg. Four unnamed individuals with close ties to the Kremlin revealed that Putin was present at meetings where it was concluded that Ukraine was not involved in the attack. However, Putin, as before, intends to use the tragedy to rally Russian citizens against Ukraine, another source of the news agency clarified. Bloomberg's sources also shared that the Kremlin was shocked that Russian security services failed to prevent the shooting at the shopping centre. Almost nobody they know within Russia's political and business elite believes Ukraine was behind the assault, the people said. The US Institute for the Study of War ISW said that Russian officials are proposing actionable but likely impractical solutions to the emotional outcries for retribution in response to the Kroger City Hall attack. Russian President Vladimir Putin and other senior Kremlin officials appear to be struggling to maintain a consistent rhetorical line about the Kroger City Hall attack, indicating that the Kremlin has not fully figured out how to reconcile its information operations with the reality of its intelligence and law enforcement failure. The ISW said on March 22, unknown gunmen stormed the Kroger City Hall with firearms and began shooting civilians. This occurred during a concert at the mall where there was a large gathering of people. Vladimir Putin has repeatedly accused Ukraine of the attack. He claimed that the organisers of the shooting allegedly tried to cross the border into Ukraine. Interestingly, even his ally, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, refuted Putin's version. He noted that the terrorists were headed to Bryansk. Ukraine managed to paralyze traffic on Crimean Bridge. Russian media, 2.500 loaded tanks with oil products have accumulated on the North Caucasus railway of the Russian Federation due to restrictions on the passage of dangerous goods through the Crimean Bridge and the need to wait for the approach of ferries and tankers report Russian commissant media outlet. This problem was discussed at a meeting of the working group of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation on March 15. It follows from its proceedings the publication refers to this document. Some stand for six months. Market participants propose to use more tankers for transportation to the Crimea and in the meantime to block the release of additional tanks to the network in this direction the newspaper writes. According to her, the downtime in the South emphasises the general shortage of oil and gasoline tanks in Russia, assessing it in different ways from hundreds to 45,000 units. Oil companies propose to temporarily lift the ban on extending the service life of tanks, but rail car builders and Russian railways oppose this. Vasyl Malyuk, the head of the security service of Ukraine said that Russia no longer uses the Crimean Bridge to supply weapons to the front after Ukrainian strikes damaged the crossing. The bridge, also called the Kursh Bridge, connects the Russian mainland with the Russian occupied Crimean Peninsula, making it a crucial supply route for the Russian military in Ukraine. Construction on the 19 kilometre long bridge began after the illegal 2014 annexation and occupation of Crimea and was completed in 2018. The bridge was heavily damaged in Ukrainian strikes in October 2022 and July 2023. The plan to strike the bridge was first conceived in March 2022, Malyuk said. Before the bridge came under attack, 42 to 46 trains carrying weapons and ammunition passed there per day. Malyuk said, today there are four or five in a day of which four are for passenger traffic and one is for consumer goods. Malyuk said, Russian proxy authorities in occupied Crimea regularly shut down traffic on the Crimean Bridge amid reports of explosions and drone strikes. When the structure is fully restored, Russia will likely use the bridge once again for weapons supplies, Malyuk said, but implied that Ukraine plans to then carry out another attack. Everything has its time, Malyuk said. A portion of a bridge in the US state of Maryland has collapsed after a large boat struck it, causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says he is aware of the incident at the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the city and is in contact with local authorities. Scott says, I'm aware of an en route to the incident at the Key Bridge. Emergency personnel are on scene and efforts are underway. Baltimore City Police have just confirmed with us that it is possible that there are workers in the water after the Key Bridge collapse. Holy hell.
