Crimea, ready to explode. Zelensky’s Plan Fails: “Destroy the Kerch Bridge”

Hours burning in Crimea while the mystery remains about the explosion recorded near a Russian base, made known by the Ukrainian media and which, according to local authorities, was caused by the downing of a drone by anti-aircraft fire.

From Ukraine it’s a Sunday of explosive war: according to the latest rumours, Zelensky’s plan to liberate Russian-occupied Crimea would be to destroy the Kerch bridge by blowing it up. The bridge, symbol of Russia’s annexation sought by Vladimir Putin, partially collapsed in October after a truck bomb exploded.

Kiev National Security Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov posted 12 stages of Ukraine’s planned plan on Facebook. Among the points also a new name for Sevastopol, the so-called “city of Russian glory”, on which the Kiev Parliament will decide: perhaps it will be called Akhtiar, suggested Danilov.

Also according to Danilov, there will be a mechanism to assess the degree of involvement of Ukrainian citizens and residents of Crimea in supporting the activities of occupation administrations. One point in the document concerns civil servants, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement and other categories of people who were on the payroll of Ukrainian authorities in Crimea but worked for Russian occupation structures after February 2014: if they are considered responsible, they will be deprived of their pension or will no longer be able to work for Ukraine.

The plan also stipulates that citizens of the Russian Federation who have illegally resided in Crimea since the date of annexation must immediately leave the peninsula within the period specified by Kiev. Therefore, real estate transactions will also be considered void. According to point 11, after the liberation of Crimea, there will be immediate release of all citizens of Ukraine, Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians persecuted by the Russian Federation on political grounds since 2014, with compensation for moral damages.
