Condoleeza Rice: Putin has a firm dedication to Ukraine’s “inhibition”

Former US Secretary of State Candlesa Rice claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to “destroy” Ukraine.

“This shows a few points,” said Rice. First, the nature of the war has changed, as it can be hit by relatively cheap drones to the strategic air fleet that cost billions of dollars. “

“Second, it shows that the Ukrainians have made a lot of progress in the construction of these drones and their strategic use in their defense industry,” Rice added.

According to the Ukrainian security service (SBU), the massive underwater explosion that targeted a bridge between Russia and Crimea put the bridge in a “emergency” on Tuesday.

The Ukrainian security service claimed that about 2 pounds of underwater explosives exploded along the Kerch Bridge. Released images showed an explosion around one of the bridge columns, after which people were evaluating damages at the top of the bridge.

This surprise blast took place just days after Ukraine’s “spider web” operation; A series of coordinated drone attacks that infiltrated the depths of Russian territory and claimed sources destroyed dozens of powerful bomber fighters and Russian identification aircraft at five military bases while disabled.

Candlesa Rice said in his accusations that Putin’s behavior was “more and more unstable” since he served in the government of then -US President George W. Bush, referring to Putin’s determination to “inhibit” Ukraine.

The former US official emphasized that Donald Trump should clearly make it clear that Russia will not win the seizure of Ukraine, especially after Monday’s peace talks in Istanbul did not make any particular progress.

Rice’s rhetoric comes as a Kremlin spokesman earlier confirmed an explosion on the Crimea Bridge, stressing that no damage was done to the bridge.

The Russian Ministry of Transport had also said that traffic was being carried out in the Crimea Bridge as usual, and although it had been closed four times, it did not cause serious disruption to drivers.

A spokesman for the Kremlin also said that, given the well -known nature of Ukrainian authorities, Moscow is taking the necessary measures to protect its infrastructure.

“Kiev continues to strive to attack civilian institutions,” he said. “The Russian side also takes appropriate precautions due to the well -known nature of Kiev.”

Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula in southern Ukraine in 2008, but there was no landway between Russia’s mainland and the quasi -pseudonym. Therefore, Moscow built a bridge in the Kerch Strait. The bridge for Russia is a symbol of the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 1 and a great political victory.
