This is partly why it now looks so irresponsible that the West didn't arm the Ukrainians earlier and even now only drip in weapons.

Take us back to before 2010. Presidents Bush or Obama could have seized upon the western-leaning, EU and NATO aspiring Viktor Yushchenko presidency.

Confirmed.

Multiple sources.

Appears both the rail bridge and the at least one road bridge span are impassable.

One road span is collapsed. It appears the other direction may be intact, but that isn't clear to me.

Awaiting further confirmation on details.

Shortens the war by 6 months!

Once the Russians sweep through Luhansk, the Russians will have almost zero ability to resupply. And once they capture Kherson and cut off water to Crimea again, the Russians will be back to paying insane bills to desalinate. I don't think they have the sea lift to make up for the bridge. They are going to run out of ammo and fuel in weeks. Probably we're going to see accelerating collapse now.

Unless of course they throw up a bailey bridge...

1) Not sure they have the capabilities in the region.

2) Won't have the capacity of the Kerch Bridge.

3) Time is off the essence. As of right now, they'll be burning through ammo and fuel.

4) They will have to secure another bridge or sea lift against strikes or covert action too.
