Mykhailo Podolyak, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said that Russian President’s statement that Ukraine carried out a “terrorist attack” [referring to the explosion on the Crimean Bridge] was cynical even by Russia’s standards.

“Putin is accusing Ukraine of terrorism? This is too cynical, even for Russia. Not even 24 hours have passed since Russian aircraft launched 12 missiles on a residential neighbourhood in Zaporizhzhia, killing 13 people and injuring over 50. No, there is only one terrorist state here, and the whole world knows what that state is”, - tweeted Podolyak.

Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine’s Security Service of blowing up the Crimean Bridge. He called the explosion a “terrorist attack” that aimed to destroy Russia’s critical civilian infrastructure.
