Can Russia destroy all Dnipro bridges?

Russia has intensified strikes on Kyiv's bridges and may expand attacks to all Dnipro River crossings, with Ukrainian officials claiming Moscow aims to split the country along the river. Experts assess full destruction of major bridges as unlikely. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated Russia is attempting to divide Ukraine along the Dnipro and complicate life for cities and communities. An officer of Ukraine's assault forces claimed Russian command ordered complete destruction of key Dnipro bridges, though no verified order from Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov exists publicly. Bridge engineers say Dnipro crossings have significant structural reserves and local missile damage rarely causes total collapse. Experts note bridges are typically destroyed by placed explosives, not rockets, making simultaneous destruction of all Kyiv bridges highly improbable despite potential for serious disruption.
