DISINFO: Americans incited Ukrainians to destroy the Crimean bridge
SUMMARY
Americans themselves incited Ukrainians to destroy the Crimean bridge and even took part in training them.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory with no evidence provided. A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Ukraine's statehood, the impact of the West on Ukraine and Ukraine allegedly supporting terrorism. It is also part of the Kremlin's disinformation against regarding the Azov Sea. The construction of the Crimean Bridge took place without Ukraine's consent and constitutes a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. It has led, in parallel with the militarisation of the Azov Sea, to tougher controls on naval traffic in the Kerch Strait.
