Analysis of satellite images shows that there is practically no traffic on the Crimean Bridge. No military freight train had passed there in three months. During the mentioned period, on February 29, only one train with approximately 55 wagons carrying fuel passed over the bridge, Ukrainska Pravda writes.
Molfar agency analysts claim that “the Crimean bridge is no longer an effective military objective for the Ukrainian army, which is constrained by a lack of ammunition.”

The closure of the bridge is the result of an attack on July 17 last year, when Ukrainian forces attacked it with drones and blew up part of the road and the railway line. Before that date, more than 40 trains a day were passing through it carrying weapons, said the head of Ukraine’s security service, Vasyl Maliuk.
Currently, according to him, four passenger trains and one freight train, which transports everyday goods, will pass over it, writes The Independent newspaper.

Kiev should now focus its attention on Melitopol, Berdyansk and Mariupol, where Russia is laying new railway lines to connect these occupied Ukrainian regions with Crimea and mainland Russia, Molfar CEO Artem Starosiek said.
The section includes 63 km of new tracks and around 140 km of rails and was tested with the first freight train in March, Molfar analysts said. It should be ready by the end of the year, while other areas of the annexed Donetsk region will be connected.
According to Starosiek, Ukraine should focus on these land routes rather than wasting its resources on the Crimean bridge. “It is these roads that are currently a more serious threat than the non-functional Crimean Bridge railway line,” he concluded.
