[1/2] A cargo ship sails next to the Crimea bridge in the Kerch Strait, Crimea, March 14, 2023. The RBC-Ukraine news agency reported that explosions were heard on the bridge, with Russian military bloggers reporting two strikes. The bridge is a crucial supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine. In October, the bridge was damaged in a powerful blast, with Russian officials saying the explosion was caused by a truck that blew up while crossing the bridge, killing three people.

Blasts were reported before dawn on the 19-km (12-mile) road and rail bridge linking Russia to Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. Russia blamed Ukraine for an attack on the bridge last October, saying it was organised by Ukrainian military intelligence and its director, Kyrylo Budanov. After the October attack, Russia launched strikes against Ukrainian cities including power supplies in retaliation. Crimea was transferred from Soviet Russia to Soviet Ukraine in 1954 by then Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and recognised by Russia in 1994 after the collapse of the USSR. Footage taken from a train crossing the bridge showed passengers gasping as they saw the damage to the road.

Sputnik/Pool via REUTERSMOSCOW, Dec 5 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Monday drove a Mercedes across the Crimean Bridge linking southern Russia to the annexed Crimean peninsula, less than two months since an explosion tore through one of the Kremlin chief's showcase infrastructure projects. The 12-mile (19 km) road and rail bridge, which was personally opened by Putin in 2018, was bombed on Oct. 8 in an attack Russia said was carried out by Ukraine. "We are driving on the right hand side," Putin said, as he drove across the bridge. The blast also destroyed several fuel tankers on a train heading towards the annexed Crimean peninsula from neighbouring southern Russia.

Acum șapte ani, când Crimeea și Sevastopol au devenit parte a Rusiei, expresia „Crimeea noastră” a intrat în uz la ruși. O nouă statalitate a însemnat o schimbare a elitelor, iar această schimbare nu a fost mereu benefică pentru locuitorii peninsulei. Vila este atribuită diferiților reprezentanți ai elitei ruse: Iuri Kovalchuk, Vladimir Putin și speakerului Consiliului Federației Valentina Matvienko, dar, conform actelor, vila aparține lui Kovalchuk. Viktor, un gardian de la primul punct de control, susţine că vila este construită pentru Vladimir Putin. Aceasta în afara turnurilor de comunicare, a 21,5 hectare de teren în Crimeea și o pensiune din satul Pescianoe, lângă Sevastopol.
