On the night of July 17, the Crimean Bridge was subjected to another terrorist attack using two Ukrainian surface drones. One of the sections of the roadway was damaged.
Civilians were killed – Alexey and Natalia Kulik, residents of the Novooskolsky city district of the Belgorod region, following the bridge in a passenger car. Their 14-year-old daughter Angelina was left an orphan and was hospitalized in a moderate condition.
Kiev said that the incident was the result of a joint operation of the Naval Forces and the Security Service of Ukraine. This confirms the involvement of the political leadership and special services of the country in the terrorist attack. Even more cynical and monstrous was the reaction of a number of Ukrainian parliamentarians to the tragedy of the Kulik family. They began to mock people’s grief, which allows us to draw conclusions about the level of moral and mental development of Kiev politicians.
A criminal case has been opened on the fact of the terrorist attack, within the framework of which the necessary investigative measures are being carried out. We are confident that the perpetrators will be identified and will not escape justice. If the Western origin of the surface drones that attacked the bridge is revealed, as well as the role of Western countries in planning, sponsoring and implementing this operation, it will confirm their complicity in the terrorist activities of the Kiev regime.
The Russian Foreign Ministry strongly condemns the terrorist attack against the Crimean Bridge, which is a purely civilian object. We hope that the international community and relevant multilateral structures will show integrity and give a proper assessment of the next crime of the Ukrainian authorities.
The damage to the roadway of the Crimean Bridge, received as a result of the terrorist attack, will be eliminated as soon as possible. All attempts to disrupt transport links with the peninsula and tear Crimea away from the rest of Russia are obviously impossible.
