Russia is actively strengthening the defences of the illegally built Kerch bridge. The invaders are now restoring the boom barriers using barges flying the Russian flag.

It was reported by the pro-Ukrainian Telegram channel Crimean Wind.

How it is being fortified

They are trying to protect the illegal construction of the Kerch bridge from attacks by our drones by sending barges flying the Russian flag. The Crimean Wind monitoring group has previously reported that there was a gap in the side of the boom barriers near the bridge, which they are probably trying to close.

Before the New Year, Russia began to restore the defences after the storms in December.

As a reminder, due to the lack of enemy ships, the invaders are no longer trying to transport anything from Crimea to Russia via the Black Sea.

The Russians have also begun to fortify Balaklava Bay for defence. They are installing additional sea barriers, and restoring the old submarine base.
