Ukraine reports Putin's change of course: Russian army stays away from Crimean bridge. Russia is no longer using the Crimean Bridge to supply its own armed forces with weapons and ammunition.

The Crimean Bridge is considered a strategically important connection between Russia and the Crimean peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. Since the beginning of the war, Ukrainian soldiers have repeatedly attacked the road, also known as the Kerch Bridge. As a result, the Russian authorities were forced to temporarily close the connection to Krasnodar Oblast.
