Ukraine-Russia War: The most crucial supply line for Russian forces fighting in southern Ukraine has been cut off by an explosion that partially collapsed a bridge connecting the Crimean Peninsula with Russia. For Putin, whose army is suffering humiliating losses in Ukraine, this is a major setback.

One of the main supply lines to the forces struggling to hold territory taken in southern Ukraine has been destroyed by the explosion on Russia's road and rail bridge to Crimea. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, stated in a video speech on Saturday that Russian forces are attempting to annex the strategically significant eastern town of Bakhmut, where Ukrainian troops are engaged in a very difficult combat.
