so, and it will be a huge loss for the russians, because that region is needed to protect the crimea peninsula, that russia has a next back in 2014. and it also takes away from russia, a land access to that insula. so just a few days after president vladimir putin has announced the annexation of 4 regions here in ukraine, including her son. he has lost some of the annex land, a bubble fell going howard the defensive military analyst, and a columnist with the russian newspaper and avaya gazette. he explains what the annexation means for any future potential piece talks. these directories though their borders are not just kind of fuzzy. no one really knows. in particular, where they are on the ground will become part so the russian federation, which means that there can be no compromise, that it can be no trade off of territory for a piece. this is already russian sacred. 3rd, 3 in the so that actually means that most likely there is no prospect right now of any kind of a meaningful peaceful negotiations at all. it's going to be decided on the battlefield. oh, it's total victory or total defeat.

collapse and the fuel tanker train on the rail overpass also caught fire. russia had annex the crimea peninsula from ukraine in 2014. take a look at the area and red, it's the area that's under the control of russian forces, as well as their separate us allies, the kurtz road and rail bridge links, mainland, russia and crimea. and is a vital landra supplying russia military in southern ukraine. ukrainian forces have been pushing a counter offensive in the east and in the southern harrison region. damage to the bridge could mean a major setback for russian forces. we have 2 correspondence standing by for us on this where we challenges in key. but 1st, let's talk to how much val, who's live in moscow, and there's been some strong words coming out of the kremlin. might tell us more or that's why we have the statements from the deputy chairman of the national security council. the committee met yet. and he basically said that i have the words here, stop the ukranian official, spoke of the need to strike the crime in bridge. i hope he understands what the retaliatory goals will be strong with. and i

crimea. this is a ley road road and railway bridge linking the peninsula.ials confirmed fuel tanks caught fire, apparently part of a freight train crossing the bridge, but it's not clear what caused this. sections of the road have also collapsed into the sea. this is an important connection strategically for getting supplies to crimea, and to russian forces in southern ukraine. but it's also symbolic. it was opened by vladimir putin in 2018, four years after russia annexed crimea. in the areas most recently freed from russian occupation, there is more evidence of what people have endured. this is lyman, a town retaken by the ukrainians a week ago, and this is said to be a mass grave uncovered nearby containing the bodies of soldiers and civilians. one report says 180 of them. investigators are now working out who they are and how they died. another report claims there are 200 more bodies buried at a second site. there's no doubt which side is succeeding. but ukraine's advances are also raising fears of russia's potential response. the prospect of vladimir p

when russia and next crimea, they had no connection to this island, the territory that what crimea is a peninsula and the territory that's on the other side or that it's linked to, is ukrainian and was controlled by ukraine at the time of this bridge was the main supply route to crimea. it's also been the main supply route for military equipment in this more that military equipment that was going to the southern front. russia has conquered the patch of land along the is off c. that is also connecting right now, crimea, to the russian for russia. but this is much more, it's much more difficult to bring in equipment via there. so this strike and ukraine has said for a long time that the bridge which it considers an illegal cons in eagle construction, is a target for ukraine. and this will have significant this will have significant impact on the supply lines on the russian supply lines. of course, the russians should have expected that and might have taken some precautions like stock piling, munitions, for example, in crimea, but it will make it much more difficult for them to supply their troops i

it's the major lifeline for the entire crimea peninsula. it's important if they can take it out. would not want to overestimate the significance of this because they're going to rebuild the bridge. i think they already rebuilt the rail. but i think most importantly is the psychological impact of this. it might not be at the level where the ship sinking was months ago but this sends a message to the world, the russians, that they are serious about taking back crimea, the ukrainians, and they have the opportunity to attack a key target like this bridge. >> it feels like it's in the same vein as the ship takedown. he's hitting civilian infrastructure targets, what's that mean for ukraine? >> he's sharpening his focus a little bit. he's been good at indiscriminate attacks. i've seen the apartment buildings that have been knocked out when i was there. his attacks have been mostly targets you and i can pick up on google earth. but now at least he's starting to go after the logistics infrastructure, the energy infrastructure, and that's more important. this is a major response to the ke

russian forces were set back after an explosion partially destroyed the 12 mile bridge linking crimea peninsula with the russian mainland. three people were killed in that blast, either russia nor ukraine has claimed responsibility. the explosion does hurt vladimir putin's claim on crimea. and the shooting spree in arkansas left two people dead and one wounded saturday. police have a suspect in custody after finding him in the woods with the self inflicted gunshot wound. police not releasing victims names, but i do believe the suspect knew them. more american voices right after the break. after the break. wait, are you my blind date? dancing crew. trip for two. nail the final interview. buy or lease? masterpiece. inside joke. artichoke. game with doug. brand new mug. come here, kid. gimme a hug. the more you want to do, the more we want to do. boosters designed for covid-19 variants are now available. brought to you by pfizer & biontech. bipolar depression. it made me feel trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lo

in the direction of movement to the crimea, according to the national anti-terrorist committee, undermining truck, which was heading from the side of the taman peninsula to crimea happened at 6:00 am 7 minutes. these frames show the moment of the explosion, as a result of which tanks with fuel of the railway train flared up on the road part of the bridge, which at that moment followed in the direction of crimea, seven tanks of the tail part caught fire. in total, there were about 60 wagons with explosives in the train. at this moment, a crimean. mikhail matala returned to the peninsula with his wife in the first seconds. he says he could not understand what happened 500 m. it was not even how it all happened. that is, i was driving, you can say the first in front of two passenger cars, everything is what it was, then after, first a fire, and then an explosion. and when the breeches arrived later, the bridge had already collapsed, that is, there was no passage there, which two cars had returned already back, when after the explosion he said that his car was shaking all over, we were driving. i admire the arch. they are burning, and suddenly i see that
