#Ukraine's successful attack on Russia's illegal #Crimea bridge sends a strong triple message. 1: Russian people hear more bad war news, which again exposes Putin as incompetent. 2: Russian forces morale in Ukraine drops even lower. 3: Gives a welcome boost to Ukrainian forces. pic.twitter.com/OPHznktzkQ

Actually, due to the war last year, there was a deal between the two countries to provide a safe way for the delivery of goods in the Black Sea. Tomorrow is the last date of this deal. This has increased the tension between the two.
Russia has blamed the attack in Crimea not only on Ukraine but also on America and Britain. Russia has said that no one else but Britain and America are responsible for this terrorist attack. According to the BBC report, the Krech bridge which has been attacked is very important for Russia.
If the movement on this has to be stopped even for a few hours, then it causes loss to Russia in the war. The reason for this is that the essential goods used in the war for the Russian army are transported through this route.
At the same time, Russia has announced that it will no longer be part of the Black Sea grain agreement with Ukraine. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that the withdrawal from the agreement had nothing to do with the attack on the bridge.
