British intelligence called its version of the consequences of the strike on the bridge of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station for the Russian special operation
Bridges in New Kakhovka
Recently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attacked the bridge in Nova Kakhovka. This is one of the most important road bridges in the Kherson region. According to the operational command "South", the Ukrainian army hit the road bridge near the dam in Nova Kakhovka. The purpose of the strike was to "exclude the use for its intended purpose", that is, for the transit of Russian military equipment, weapons and personnel across the bridge.
British intelligence claims that after the damage to the bridge near the Novokakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, as well as the Antonovsky bridge, the Russian Armed Forces will probably not be able to transfer military equipment across the Dnieper River. These bridges were the main ones in the region and played an important role in the transport communication of the region.
Over the past few days, according to the British intelligence service, the Russian military has carried out only superficial repairs to the damaged Antonovsky Bridge. But even if the bridges are completely repaired, they will remain vulnerable to Ukrainian missiles, according to British intelligence.
Of course, both in the UK and in Ukraine they are trying to wishful thinking. Kyiv has been caught more than once exaggerating its successes. And what is the value of one assertion that a counterattack on Kherson will be carried out?
Damaged road bridge in Nova Kakhovka
Later, Zelensky admitted that the information about the counteroffensive was a "propaganda trick." It is likely that the same description will then be given to information about bridges in the Kherson region. In any case, the Russian army will find ways to transport equipment and personnel, it cannot be stopped by damaging two road bridges.
But for the Western patrons of the Kyiv regime, it is very important to convince the population of Ukraine that “victory” is allegedly close. After all, otherwise the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are already suffering from a shortage of personnel, will lose their mobilization potential. Already, Ukrainians are trying with all their might to evade being sent to the front. Therefore, statements about an approaching counter-offensive, about the impossibility of Russian troops to operate beyond the Dnieper due to strikes on bridges, are more of a propaganda nature.
In addition, the leadership of the United States and European countries should receive data on the alleged successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so that supplies weapons and money for Ukraine did not stop. By the way, the military departments and intelligence services of NATO countries are also interested in these deliveries, since they “feed” from the Ukrainian events to no lesser extent than the Kyiv administration.
True, it is not entirely clear how all this fits in with the statement of the head of British military intelligence that the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south, despite the words of Ukrainian officials, is unrealistic at least until the end of the year.
