Here Putin drives a Mercedes over the Crimean Bridge: "An attempt to raise the morale of the Russian population"

On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the bridge that connects the Crimean Peninsula with Russia and which was attacked in October, where Ukraine was early identified as the culprit.

Russian television has published some attention-grabbing videos in which Putin, in front of the television cameras, calmly talks about how good the bridge will be when it is repaired and how many people are working on the repairs.

SVT's Russia correspondent Bert Sundström believes that they want to show that Putin, and Russia, can solve all problems.
