British newspaper: Ukraine wants to destroy Crimea bridge in mid-summer

According to RIA Novosti, The Sun (UK) reported that Ukrainian officials announced that Kiev will try to destroy the Crimea bridge before mid-July.

"Ukrainian officials say they will destroy the Crimea bridge in mid-July," The Sun reported.

The Sun experts believe that Ukraine could use between 20 and 40 Storm Shadow missiles to attack the bridge bed and use unmanned boats to blow up the supports.

The Kremlin has repeatedly stressed that the Kiev authorities' terrorist methods of attacking civilian targets further convince Russia of the need to fully implement the goals of special operations.

Meanwhile, American Professor John Mearsheimer said in a debate at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York that to end the conflict, Ukraine needs to become neutral and cut off relations with the US.

"It is necessary to break the strategic link between Ukraine and the US to create a truly neutral Ukraine. This is the only way to end the chaos that exists today" - Professor John Mearsheimer said.

According to the analyst, continued financial support for Kiev will not lead to a change in the situation, since the difference in potential between the two sides is huge and will only increase in favor of Russia.

"The reality is that Russia now has a decisive advantage over Ukraine, and over time this imbalance will increase, not decrease. There is nothing the West can do to remedy this situation. Ukraine will have to accept its fate," said Professor Mearsheimer.

According to this US expert, the conflict can only be resolved by the US stopping funding, severing strategic relations with Kiev, moving Ukraine to a neutral state and abandoning consideration of NATO membership./.
