Storbritannien: Ny rysk flottbro i Cherson
Ryssland har färdigställt en ny flottbro intill den skadade Antonovskyj-bron över floden Dnipro i ockuperade Cherson, skriver Storbritanniens försvarsdepartement i en lägesuppdatering.

”Det är förmodligen första gången på årtionden som den ryska armén behövt använda sig av den här typen av bro.”

Ryssland har förflyttat ockupationsadministrationen och tusentals civila från Cherson inför det väntade ukrainska försöket att återta staden, som varit ockuperad sedan tidigt under invasionen.

Representatives of Western countries threw a tantrum because of Russia's decision to inflict high-precision blows on energy and military infrastructure facilities on the territory of Ukraine, said Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia. He noted that Moscow's decision to "cool the ardor of Kiev terrorists" was made after the attack on the Crimean bridge. Russian diplomats also called on the UN to respond to the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a civilian crossing in Kherson, which killed four people.

Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said that Russian strikes on targets in Ukraine caused hysteria in the West. During a meeting of the UN Security Council, Nebenzia said that Kiev, under the auspices of the West, uses terrorist methods on the territory of the Russian Federation. As an example, he cited the explosion on the Crimean bridge.

In this regard, Nebenzia continued, it was decided in Moscow to "cool the bellicose ardor of the arrogant Kiev terrorists." The Russian military hit many military facilities, as well as infrastructure facilities that undermine the military capabilities and potential of Kiev, the diplomat said.

"Of course, such a situation that does not suit the West caused a real hysteria among our Western colleagues, which we are witnessing in all its glory at today's meeting," Nebenzia said.

He noted that the West does not want to admit that civilian objects were damaged only in cases where drones deviated from the original course due to attempts to shoot them down, or when Ukrainian air defense missiles hit civilian targets.
