a military analyst from king's college london. and i asked her if these latest ukrainian strikes and russian occupied crimea are part of the crating and the counter offensive. as well, yes, we're going to consider it as a part of your brain counter offensive. it doesn't have to be in one specific location. first of all, this is obviously a strategic surprise given that the crimea is strategically and politically important. for osh it's showing that premier is vulnerable on the one hand. on the other hand, was recent strikes on the bridge, the cranium as a premium forces and trying to make it very difficult for russia to sustain its troops in the occupied territories. so it, it is a way to sever russian logistics as well. yeah, you can present avoiding zalinski has now declared the crime in bridge. an enemy facility, essentially making it a military target. can you tell us more about what that means?

it is an interesting shift in rhetoric because that has been indicate sions, ever since the bridge has been billed, that the bridge has no right to exist and for put in it's a very important symbol of russian control of crimea as well. so they're interested in political symbolism here, as well as a strategic military strategic importance to supplies the troops. so as i said, and so the clearing this for the 1st time ukraine was very cautious not to admit any attacks on the bridge. my teresa, eyebrows, and once the allies for fear rang, asked correlation if you crane is indeed 2 strikes of bridge or 2 conduct strikes inside the peninsula. but i think at this stage, and especially in light of the attacks on odessa and, and,

and the broken green deal as a threshold has been broke. well, what impact do you think the destruction of that bridge would have for russia as well? first of all, politically, it would be a huge disaster for pointing because it's one of his pap projects and it is a sign of russian control of crime me as well as in the military sense of way to supplies of troops of horror now in the occupied territories in ukraine and hor, essentially defending those territories, making it difficult for ukrainian force as to as mountains. so not being able to supply them a breaking of russian logistics would significantly reduce rushes military capability and would also complicate russia sustainment of cry, me a per se, because the russian black, black c fleet is located there. so militarily,

it would be a huge problem for russia if you grade managers to destroy the bridge. all right, i'm are on military analyst at kings college london. thank you very watch. as always we can take a look now it's another world news headlines. 11 people have been killed and 4 more injured and a suspected arse and attack on a bar in the mexican city of san luis, colorado, state prosecutor say, a man who was thrown out of the bar threw a molotov cocktail at the building, setting it on fire and tens of thousands of his release of rallied outside jerusalem against a plan judicial overall the government back to bill to curb. the supreme court's powers has sparks months of protests and dos. a huge blow to the economy. parliament will debate and vote on the bill on sunday to formula one and the hon gary in grand prix, where mercedes louis hamilton it claimed his 1st full possession of the season and
