Any Western-backed Ukrainian attack against Russiaβs Crimean Bridge or Crimea itself will be met with a powerful revenge strike from Moscow, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
The warning follows a recent post by Ukraineβs envoy to the UN, Sergey Kislitsa, which had a threatening tone, implying that the bridge connecting the Russian peninsula to the Krasnodar Region will not be standing by the end of the year.
According to Zakharova, Kiev is openly preparing for a new attack on the Crimean Bridge, with the support of the West. She told a press briefing on Friday that, on the eve of May 9, Russiaβs annual Great Victory Day commemorating the Soviet defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, βthe Kiev regime and its Western masters are hatching plans for new terrorist attacks on Russian territory.β
βI would like to again warn Washington, London, Brussels, that any aggressive actions against Crimea are not only doomed to failure, but will also be met with a retaliatory blow,βΒ the diplomat said.
