“Threats from the Ukrainian junta to attack Crimea or the Crimean bridge only confirm that denazification and demilitarization must be carried out throughout Ukraine, otherwise there will always be a threat to our territory, our citizens and infrastructure,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.

Earlier, Aleksey Arestovich, an adviser to the head of the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said that Ukraine could attack the Crimean bridge "as soon as the first technical possibility appears."

The representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Vadim Skibitsky, said that Kyiv could strike with American HIMARS MLRS on the territory of Crimea.

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky had previously said that Kyiv would not use extended-range missile systems to strike Russian territory.
