[000:00:00;00] no 53% 38% say that there are no relatives in russia, friends, we will put a full stop on this, i thank you for your attention, we will meet you in the next program, we will have pavlo klimkin, wait , goodbye, this is bbc ukraine live from london , i am iryna tarnyuk and today we are talking about such a war at sea on the crimean bridge explosions the official authorities of ukraine did not admit responsibility for the attack at the same time moscow announces withdrawal from the grain agreement revenge pressure blackmail are these two events connected and if

yes, how will the development continue if with intention moscow wanted to sow turmoil in the world, it achieved this by announcing the withdrawal from the grain agreement. of the ukrainian port on sunday, that is, the russians stopped issuing permits even before the kerch bridge was blown up, but the attack on the crimean bridge became the reason for the russians' decision exit the grain agreement literally in a minute but first, a few facts about the agreement itself, the grain agreement was concluded through the mediation of the un and thanks to the personal intervention of the turkish leader erdogan at the end of july last year, it is actually about two separate documents , an agreement between the un and the russian federation for the export of food and fertilizers, and the black sea the grain initiative, which allows exports from ukrainian ports blocked by the russians, is actually a separate agreement between ukraine and turkey

and the same mirror agreement between turkey and russia during this time by sea more than 32 million ukrainian grains were exported to world markets, this reduced world prices, which rose sharply as a result of the blockade of ukrainian ports by 1/5, despite complaints about the intentional delays of the russians this year, more than a thousand ships were loaded with ukrainian grain, last year the russians have already threatened to leave several times from the grain initiative , what they called a terrorist attack on the kerch bridge , at least officially by the mouth of the kremlin, was the last straw that prompted the russians to withdraw piskov's spokesman, they deny this and accuse the ukrainian special services of undermining the bridge. in a minute, an analysis of moscow's position by a bbc correspondent. first of all, it is very well known about the explosions on the bridge last night. it was found out by the journalists of the mission department. photo social networks are spreading a large number of photos and videos on which you can see the damage.

the bridge in general, the crimean bridge consists of two parts, one is the railway tracks and the other is the road, and as we have seen , the road surface is damaged on two spans on the road itself, one of the two lanes of the carriageway, as you can see in the video, is badly damaged and unusable, the other road lane is also damaged, but the exact scale of the damage still needs to be established, because there is not much around this place, and it is also not visible whether there is any damage to the bridge piers, but later we will can we get more videos that will allow us to understand this, it is also important to note that the degree of damage to the bridge, at least from what we saw in the photos and videos of social networks , seems to me to be less than 100 compared to the attack on the bridge in october of last year. we still know about two dead people. we have seen footage taken at night showing a black suv with license plates of the belgorod region

. it was seriously damaged by the explosion. the front part of the car is actually missing . the bodies of the dead are also visible in the photo, but we know for sure that one the person survived. the authorities of the belgorod region, whose numbers this car actually has , confirmed that the people in the car, the mother and father , died, and their 14-year-old daughter is now in the hospital. ukraine does not officially recognize involvement in this attack and says that everything will become known after the victory, so whether it is necessary to connect these two events, the kremlin's decision to withdraw from the grain initiative and the detonation of a section of the kerch bridge . this is how our correspondent from europe explained it on the bbc. this is the second time this happened to the crimean bridge during the last year, when it was damaged due to an explosion, the russian authorities blame the attack of the security services of ukraine , they say that the bridge was not like this with the help of naval drones. for several hours

this morning, officials said that this an emergency situation, but at the same time they did not disclose any details and then came out and confirmed that it was an attack, this bridge is important for russia because it connects russia with the crimean peninsula and provides supplies to crimea, but it is also important for putin personally as a symbol of his decision to take the ukrainian peninsula 9 years ago, the press secretary of the kremlin said that russia's decision not to continue participating in the grain agreement had nothing to do with the attack on the crimean bridge , but this did not come as a surprise, because recently the russian authorities have been ambiguous hinted that they are not going to further participate in it just a few days ago president putin in an interview with a russian tv channel said enough means enough and noted that he would suspend russia's participation in this agreement until its demands are met.

exports of its own grain and fertilizers are , firstly, secondly, the russians demanded or a russian bank that conducts agricultural operations was connected to the global interbank payment system , the world. these are the russian demands, so what the russians do, they say, well, we are leaving the agreement, we are now suspending participation, but they reserve the option of returning to it as soon as their demands are met . today's statements by the turkish president erdogan, who also omits that he may be interested in returning to the grain agreement, also seem interesting. to discuss it. so at this moment there is still hope that the agreement will be revived, i assume that now behind the scenes you will start serious conversations to try to return this agreement proper channel all vital agreement it is important for ukraine because it allows it to safely export its grain from

the black sea ports but it is also important for world food prices to keep them at this level so of course there are many concerns about suspending this agreement but as i said there is still hope that russia will return to it, suspended to taras from moscow to what significance the damage to the bridge across the kerch strait will have, in particular, for the supply of russian troops in the crimea and on we will return to the south of ukraine in a moment, and first a few more words about the russians' decision to withdraw from the grain agreement that the day before turkish leader rezip teip redogan assured that the agreement will definitely be extended today after the russians' statement that the agreement is dead erdogan said his friend putin is ready to resuscitate it read more user visi vancari victoria craik firs flies to saudi arabia to build bilateral relations with its golden neighbors in order to attract potential

investment to turkey but first he talked to journalists at a press conference in istanbul, where he mentioned the grain agreement and said that despite today 's statement from russia, he believes that putin wants this humanitarian bridge to exist in the future, erdogan added that the two countries are continuing diplomatic efforts and it seems that the potential for negotiations is as they think from the side of turkey and from the side of europe, the agreement is not completely dead yet , before leaving, erdoğan said once again that he might talk to putin on the phone before later visiting turkey with an official visit next month so there is hope and it is quite high i think that this year it can be renewed for this agreement is very important for developing countries for countries that really rely on the import of grain through the black sea and through the bosphorus according to the un last year after signing this agreement food prices fell by 20%.

sunflower oil, barley, corn. these are some of the largest export goods from ukraine that arrive in these regions. there are fears that if the agreement is not extended, we will witness another food crisis before the agreement was signed last year, we had to face a huge increase in prices and one of the reasons was the war due to the coronavirus pandemic, problems with supply and logistics in different parts of the world, this was influenced by many factors that complicated the situation. at the moment, i have real fears that if the agreement is not reset, we will be able to face a similar problem again, namely with food price jumps around the world. the fact that immediately after the russians announced their withdrawal from the agreement , wheat prices on the cherkasy stock exchange

jumped by more than 3%." can you explain why this bridge is a strategically important city, one of the two military supply routes that the russians used to maintain their forces in the occupied crimea , the second is a land route along the northern coast of the sea of ​​azov to the north of crimea, but the kerch bridge is one of the main routes , so it will always be under threat attacks because of the cessation of supplies to the russian military

of materials is an integral part of the war in ukraine, and the stoppage of supplies through this bridge will seriously affect the russian forces in the crimea . how everything happens and what impact it has, but from open sources we know that in order to carry out an attack on the bridge, the ukrainians probably used their naval unit or special forces or they used two naval drones together, but it is known that the railway the connection is still working we are trying to verify the statement of both sides the russian foreign ministry has just released some statements in which they say that the west is complicit in this attack and that the drones involved in these attacks were allegedly of western origin what is known about it i do not think that anyone from our side will reveal such information, but i would be surprised if western intelligence did not inform the ukrainian forces about how the attack could be carried out. i would

be more surprised if the us special forces of great britain or france really took part in the attack, but we cannot ignore this possibility, but with regard to the origin of the naval drones themselves, the ukrainians are far ahead in the development of such weapons. perhaps they are even ahead of some western countries. it is precisely because of the need for these weapons that the west may have provided some parts, but i suspect that the drones are of local production, so what is known about the events of last night, for information this year , two people died as a result of a part of the bridge being blown up. russia accused ukraine of a terrorist attack. therefore, the ukrainian peninsula is a completely justified military target by the bbc correspondent, i would live to see the brine in more detail. this is what the russian government calls

an emergency situation. early in the morning , a part of the kerch bridge was damaged because of this, the russian authorities had to close this key infrastructure object that connects the occupied the crimean peninsula with russia assigned by moscow crimean officials claim that the explosion is the result of an attack by naval drones, and footage of the destruction indicates that the explosion probably occurred under a bridge in this attack russia accuses ukraine, according to the investigation, as a result of the terrorist attack by the ukrainian special services on the night of july 16-17. one section of the crimean bridge of the crimean bridge was damaged . a source in the ukrainian special services told the bbc that their agency and the ukrainian navy were behind the attack . was under attack, then a powerful explosion damaged both the road and the railway tracks, this large-scale structure is part of an important supply route

that russia uses to provide its forces in southern ukraine with irregular supplies, it will be difficult for the russian troops to maintain control over the regions in the south of ukraine that they seized last year, and it is precisely in these directions that kyiv has launched a counteroffensive and is trying to break through . this attack coincides with the expiration of the agreement that allows ukraine to export grain through the black sea, and today russia stated that she was withdrawing from this agreement, which the un describes as necessary to maintain global food security . read the meaning of the grain agreement for ukraine and the world on our website bbc.ua and on our pages in social networks and we will be on the air again

the destruction of the crimean crossing will affect the supply of russian troops, we will talk in a minute well, after the attack on the crimean bridge , russia officially withdrew from the grain agreement that allowed the export of ukrainian food from the black sea ports despite the war, how will the grain corridor work now? well, we return to the eternal topic of what the state buys during the war, and what the ukrainian government spends the money of ukrainian taxpayers on, the reconstruction of stadiums , the construction of museums from the filming of new year's comedies, how appropriate are such expenses during the war let's talk today svoboda life kerch, or as it is also called the crimean city, is one of the most important links in the supply system of the russian army in the southern regions of ukraine, critically important the object of infrastructure and the symbol of the occupation of the ukrainian peninsula was destroyed tonight for the second time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion

. the crimean bridge seemed to be damaged only once , on october 8, 2022. then, as a result of the explosion of a truck with a trailer, three spans of the road bridge collapsed, and the railway bridge was also badly damaged this time judging by the published photos and videos, the railway was not damaged. by the way , the main main flow of military cargo passes through the railway, and therefore there are currently doubts about whether supply problems will begin in the russian army, how noticeable they will be, instead, almost 150 passenger cars are waiting for the ferry crossing in kerch after the traffic stop on the car lane, this is reported in particular about the kremlin news agencies, the russian authorities urge to use the so-called alternative routes, i.e. through the occupied territories of ukraine - this is mariupol , berdyansk, melitopol, in the occupied territories they even canceled the curfew specifically for the passage of transport to the crimea and from crimea, but how attractive such a route will be for ordinary russians

is the question. well, what happened in crimea today? the chronology of events was compiled by olga armenian on the night of april 17 near the crimean bridge . at first, russian and occupation media reported about it , videos and photos began to appear on social networks. with the destruction of the crimean bridge, they can see how one of the spans of the automobile part of the bridge has come off its support, guys, the bridge is closed, the governor of the belograd region, russia, vyacheslav glatkov, said that as a result of the explosion on a couple died on the crimean bridge, their daughter was injured in the hospital, the family allegedly went from russia to the crimea on vacation. the investigative committee of russia opened a case under the article of terrorist acts controlled by russia. the head of the occupied crimea, serhii aksyonov, in his telegram channel called the destruction of the bridge an extraordinary event and called to go to russia through other occupied territories of ukraine , which he called new regions of russia, and the residents

of crimea are asked to use the land corridor, respectively, through the новый региона российской федерации crimean bridge was attacked by ukrainian unmanned surface drones, the russian national anti-terrorism committee came to this conclusion. ukrainian media, citing sources in the security service of ukraine, note that the sbu and the naval forces of ukraine were involved in the attack. officially, none of the ukrainian agencies took responsibility for the explosions in the sbu. reacted to the event in verse form nightingale dear brother again the bridge went to sleep taras - two postscripts folk music words of the sbu and the spokesman of the gourmet of ukraine andriy yusov responded in a public comment. yes, now the whole world sees multi-kilometer traffic jams and violations of brain structures. as for additional comments, we do not comment on the reasons for this. we can only quote the words of the head of the state department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, kyryll budanov

, that the crimean bridge construction is unnecessary there, meanwhile, the first president of russia dmytro piskov, in a comment to the russian media, noted that putin was informed about the events on the crimean bridge , and putin asked to organize the repair , but when asked about how russia would react to this the attack on the sand answered that he does not know about it yet now i can't say if i take it as a final answer or it will reach all targets special military operations the attack on the krymsky bridge received a lot of attention and from the kremlin media this is how the head of the project rasha tudy margarita zabajn reacted esli pravda cho so the crimean bridge was carried out with the help of the british special services, does this make the tower bridge a legitimate goal, in my opinion, so well, and this is a reaction about the kremlin presenter volodymyr solovyov, and the bank to

it is still standing or it is already there a gigantic funnel edition of the council still not destroyed and how are the bridges over the dnieper still standing after the attack on the krymsky bridge , railway transport has already resumed operation, but cars from crimea to russia go through the occupied parts of the kherson-zaporizka and donetsk regions, this is the situation now in front of the sugar bridge , some passengers who did not have time to arrive by bus across the bridge to the territory of crimea were sent there by ferry, but today not all those who wanted to were able to get to crimea

they blew up the bridge and they couldn't directly in front of us fucking time in the fields in short, we arrived olga armenian radio freedom we follow the events in crimea well, in the meantime, they can neither confirm nor deny yes the gur commented on the involvement of ukrainian intelligence in the destruction of the crimean bridge and promised to discuss all details after the victory, how the incident with the bridge across the kerch strait will affect the events at the front and what are the chances that the bridge will eventually tire in the near future, my colleague daria kudimova asked about this the representative of the main the intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, andrii yusova, bbc writes with reference to interlocutors that the sbu and the navy of ukraine were involved in the detonation , and that ukrainian intelligence was involved. the invasion of ukraine and the full-scale invasion, in particular , this is definitely a consequence of these events

. of ukrainian law and international law well, if it is strong and legal, then everything that happens there can be said that well , in fact, it does not exist, of course, after the victory, we will taste and learn a lot of interesting details, but now we should discuss only those things that really bring the ukrainian victory closer to the fact that is happening with the logistics of the occupiers this is good this brings victory closer and the reasons why this happened i think it is worth discussing a little later about logistics in general we will talk more and in general the official version of the ukrainian intelligence that what happened to the crimean bridge, which well, we don't have an official version about this because there is an old estimate that it is an illegal construction , general bohdanov said that the construction is unnecessary there , it should not find its numerical estimates that it is actually not seismically stable and the area there is so unfavorable that the city is built with by many violations of security norms and violation

of ukrainian dbn well, you can go on for a very long time, but in fact the occupation authorities are responsible for what happens in the occupied territories, well, this means that the occupiers do not control the situation in including non-logistic objects of their own, and for the general public, it should be emphasized once again that being in close proximity to the accumulations of military equipment of russian military objects by war criminals is something that is dangerous for life and should be avoided by everyone who is not involved in this barbaric aggressive of russia's genocidal war against ukraine, the proclaimed head of crimea , aksyonov, writes that, given the current situation, i ask residents of the highlands of the peninsula to refrain from traveling through the crimean bridge for the sake of safety, choose an alternative land route through new regions, this is a verbatim quote, and what are these routes and are they safe for russians, once again it is worth

emphasizing that there are no safe routes for russians in ukraine came out voluntarily to surrender in ukrainian captivity to use the state program eh i want to live that's how we are ready to work it out in everything in all other cases to calculate that traveling through temporarily occupied territories eh will be safe for the representatives of the invaders, and today a russian passport in ukrainian territories is actually a sign, in particular , of the invaders, well, that would be very naive , and in this situation, aksenov deliberately exposes possibly insufficiently certified, insufficiently literate residents of the territory called the russian federation to such a danger to people living today on this, on the territory of this entity , it is desirable to avoid any stay in the temporarily occupied

territories of ukrainians. and this means not to be led by any advertising offers buy, for example, housing in mariupol or take it away from murdered families, don't go on holiday to the temporarily occupied crimea , well, actually, most of them don't go. well, there is some exotized percentage, it's quite small, and don't participate in any propaganda, informational and other actions . well, because it's simple dangerous for life and health, in addition, you risk being involved in war crimes and, accordingly , will be punished for this, and aksenov knows this for sure, because he is a quitter when he is certainly not a fool. well, therefore, this is already a story for but how much does the russian administration value the lives of its own civilians, mr. andriy, you mentioned logistics, how it will affect the logistics of the occupiers and how soon it will be reflected on the front of the russian-ukrainian war, well, just a story with one bridge, we will not see
