Kiev is openly preparing for a new attack on the Crimean bridge with the support of the West, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said at a briefing.
"Today, on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Crimea, the Crimean bridge has been attacked again. The preparation for an attack against him is hard to believe, but now it is being carried out openly, with the absolute direct and shameless support of the collective West”, the diplomat stressed.
According to Zakharova, on the eve of the Great Victory Day, “the Kyiv regime and its Western masters are making plans for new terrorist attacks on Russian territory”, while “calculation is being made for great media resonance, for a propaganda effect".
„Exactly for these purposes, exactly a year ago, on May 3, they tried to strike the Moscow Kremlin with a drone,”, recalled the official representative of the diplomatic department.
Russia will take strict retaliatory measures if the navigation rights of Russian ships in the Baltic Sea are restricted. “Any attempts to limit the navigation rights of Russian ships in the Baltic Sea will be seen as another unfriendly step, which will inevitably be followed by tough countermeasures,“, she said.
