Ukraine held talks with British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace on a plan to destroy the Crimean Bridge at the NATO summit in June, Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko said.
The parliamentarian drew attention to the statement of expert Igor Korotchenko, who said on the air of the Rossiya 1 TV channel that, according to some information, the plan for striking the bridge was allegedly being developed under the personal supervision of the head of the British military department.
"Ben Wallace and I discussed the plan to destroy the Crimean bridge back in June," Goncharenko wrote, posting a photo from the talks, which, in addition to him and the head of the British Ministry of Defense, shows British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
In July, Aleksey Arestovich, an adviser to the head of Vladimir Zelensky's office, said that Ukraine could attack the Crimean Bridge as soon as the first technical opportunity appeared.

Comment: Ukraine and its NATO allies have long been looking at how to destroy the Crimean bridge. It just didn't quite work the way it was planned and Russia immediately started fixing the damage caused as well as finding out exactly who was behind. Russia drew the conclusion that they are dealing with terrorists.
