The road-and-rail bridge linking Russia and the Crimean peninsula was damaged in a powerful blast on Saturday, hitting a crucial supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine. Russian officials said the explosion was caused by a truck that blew up while crossing the bridge, killing three people. President Vladimir Putin has branded the blast a "terrorist attack" orchestrated by Ukrainian security services and on Monday he ordered a wave of retaliatory strikes on Ukrainian cities including the capital Kyiv. For more on the latest escalation of the war, FRANCE 24 is joined by Inna Sovsun, Member of Ukrainian Parliament (Golos Party).
