The Kerch Bridge, also called the Crimean Bridge, links Russia with occupied Crimea across the Kerch Strait. Russia uses the strait to supply its troops in the occupied parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
In September 2023 Russia replaced a span that fell after a sea drone attack. In October 2023 four Dutch companies were ordered to pay €160,000 in fines for helping to build the bridge. In 2024 Russia strengthened the bridge’s defences with barges and air defence, and Ukrainian military intelligence said it had a plan to destroy it. In June 2025 the SSU blew up the bridge’s pillars. In November 2025 a Russian court sentenced eight people to life in prison over the explosion on the bridge in October 2022.
