In April , The Guardian, citing anonymous high-ranking officials in the GUR , wrote that this year Ukraine wants to destroy the Crimean bridge, so the intelligence services are already preparing for a new attack. 

According to Kirill Budanov, the head of the GUR, the Crimean bridge is carefully guarded and protected by Russia, but Ukrainian special services are working on this issue, as it remains an important target for interrupting Russian supplies.
