I wonder how many of these long term plays Ukraine has left up it's sleeve, I love to see them in action.
Russia blindly bombs some kids in their apartment, Ukraine spends months targeting critical infrastructure and military hardware.

I suspect that Trump getting elected lit a fire under all of these larger plans. Once the talks stalled, Kyiv had to make some big plays to bring Russia to the negotiating table. If this doesn't do it, they might even have another ready to go.
did the ukranians say "crimea river" when the russians complained?
That bridge is a known target, there's no one guarding it? Or did they just watch them install all these explosives the whole time without doing anything about it?
Thank god they’re so fucking stupid.
Was installed below the waterline - not specified whether it was divers or submarine drones in info so far made available. All the Russian current protections were apparently air and sea not submarine - other than nets (which were clearly ineffective).
Edit more info than in the above article can be found here
You can't exactly patrol a bridge with divers or something. I guess you could do periodic inspections though?
