Six months before the Kerch Bridge connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland was attacked by a truck bomb, a presentation drawn up for British intellligence officers listed an attack on the bridge as one of several plans designed to impair Russian military forces. The April 2022 presentation was provided to the Grayzone anonymously.
Although the plans detailed in the report differ from the method used in the October 8 attack on the bridge, British interest in planning an attack on the bridge “underscores the deep involvement of NATO powers in the Ukraine proxy war,” Grayzone reporter Kit Klarenberg writes. “At almost precisely the time that London reportedly sabotaged peace talks between Kiev and Moscow in April this year, British military intelligence operatives were drawing up blueprints to destroy a major Russian bridge crossed by thousands of civilians per day.”
