Can Russia destroy Ukraine's Dnipro bridges?

ua.korrespondent.net (Ukrainian) —

Russia has intensified strikes on Kyiv's bridges and plans to target all Dnipro River crossings, aiming to split Ukraine along the river, according to Ukrainian officials. President Zelensky stated Moscow seeks to divide the country and complicate life in major cities. Ukrainian intelligence and military sources report a Russian order to destroy key Dnipro bridges, with plans for detailed attacks using specific weapons. However, no verified public document confirms such an order from Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov. Experts say large Dnipro bridges have structural reserves and are unlikely to fully collapse from missile strikes, though ballistic hits pose risks. Complete destruction of all Kyiv bridges is considered highly improbable, as repairs are feasible.
