According to Sky News Arabia, the Russian Defense Ministry named a new commander of the Russian military today, on Saturday, to oversee the fighting in Ukraine.
The fire that started this morning on the Crimean Bridge was reportedly started by a vehicle bomb, according to Russian media.
A “huge explosion” reportedly occurred near the Kerch bridge, which connects Crimea and Russia, according to Ukrainian media.
fresh military action
Russia began a fresh military operation in the Donbas region along the Russian-Ukrainian border, using “high-precision weapons” to target Ukraine’s military establishment, air defence system, and air forces.
The Ukrainian border guards claimed that Russia had invaded the Ukrainian border from Crimea, Belarus, and Russia.
attacks using heavy weapons and artillery
The Ukrainian border guards said that small guns, heavy machinery, and artillery were used in attacks on border patrol units and checkpoints.
Following a meeting of the National Security Council, Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier declared his nation will immediately recognise the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics from Ukraine and urged the Russian parliament to confirm the decision.
Donetsk and Luhansk’s separation from Ukraine will be decided in a referendum.
Donetsk and Lugansk, two provinces in the eastern Donbass basin, declared their independence on May 12, 2014, following a referendum in which the majority of voters supported their secession from Ukraine.
The international community became more alarmed as a result of Russia amassing more than 100,000 soldiers on the Ukrainian border in preparation for the anticipated invasion.
The new commander of the Russian military has been named, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, to oversee the fighting in Ukraine.
