A report by ISW states that Russian forces' strikes on Kyiv's Southern Bridge are part of a larger plan by Putin. Russian military correspondents claim the goal of these attacks is to block transport flows across the bridge, with repeated strikes intended to cause cumulative and critical damage to the structure.

Analysts assess the enemy's new tactic involves round-the-clock attacks on civilian objects, aiming to disrupt the daily lives of Kyiv residents and disable critical infrastructure. Video shows Kyiv residents walking across the bridge between the Left and Right Banks of the capital.
