Obstruction on Crimean Bridge by the Residents

In the early hours of September 4th, the Crimean Bridge, a crucial transport link between Russia and Crimea, experienced a temporary halt in traffic. This halt was due to the bridge being blocked by Russian occupiers.

The occupiers, who were wearing uniforms without any insignia or identification marks, were later identified as Russian troops. This practice of crossing into Ukraine without identification is consistent with previous actions by Russian forces.

The resumption of traffic on the Crimean Bridge was managed by transport security personnel, who were given specific instructions to ensure a smooth flow of traffic. The occupiers announced the resumption of traffic after the first hour after midnight in Kyiv.

Those on the bridge and in the inspection zone were asked to follow the instructions of transport security personnel and remain calm. Instructions for the transport security personnel, in turn, were related to the resumption of traffic on the Crimean Bridge.

The halting of traffic on the Crimean Bridge caused some concern, but the quick action by transport security personnel ensured that the situation was resolved promptly. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing tensions in the region and the need for vigilance and quick action in such situations.

As the situation continues to develop, updates will be provided to ensure the public is kept informed. The safety and security of those using the Crimean Bridge remains a priority for all involved.
