On June 3, 2025, Ukraine struck the Crimean Bridge for a third time. This came just two days after a massive drone assault on Russian bombers. Today, we discuss what happened, why this attack is different both in terms of the method and the military consequences, and how it will affect the broader bargaining picture between the parties. Also, cards. Lots of cards. 0:00 A String of Ukrainian Attacks 0:34 Details of the Crimean Bridge Attack 1:34 Background on the Crimean Bridge 2:40 Surveying the Damage 4:32 The Military Consequences of the Attack 7:05 The Political Consequences of the Attack 8:36 Signaling Costs of War The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and NATO visual information does not imply or constitute an endorsement.
