Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday drove a Mercedes on the same Crimean bridge blasted by the Ukrainian army in October. Along with driving, Putin has shut the mouth of all those who discuss the news of his illness and sometimes his fall from the stairs. Driving on this bridge within less than two months, Putin has again given proof of his power to the world. Two blasts took place on the bridge in Crimea, due to which the infrastructure projects were badly damaged. Putin, 70, has been rarely seen in public for some time.
19 km long bridge
The Bridge of Crimea, a rail and road bridge, is 19 kilometers long. Putin inaugurated it in the year 2018. On October 8, Ukraine blasted it and destroyed it. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin was also in the car with Putin. Reporters of the national news channel were also aboard. He was in the back seat and was questioning the President.
In response to a question, Putin said, ‘We are driving on the right. The left side of this bridge is working, but it needs to be completed. It suffered some damage after the blast. Now we have to bring it in the right condition.
Walk for a while
Putin saw many parts of this bridge, and for some time, he was also seen walking on it. This bridge in Crimea is the longest in Europe. The responsibility for the blast on this bridge has not yet been taken from the Ukrainian side. The bridge was attacked the day after Putin’s 70th birthday. According to Russian security agencies, the attack was carried out by the military intelligence of Ukraine.
Due to the blast on this bridge, there was a lot of damage to the part of the bridge with the road network. Traffic had to be stopped till Krech Marg. Due to this blast, many fuel tankers on the rail network were also destroyed. This bridge connects Crimea with the south.
Sick health claim
Earlier this month, it was claimed by the same channel that Putin’s health is continuously deteriorating. His health has become a concern for his close friends and doctors. It was said on behalf of the Telegram channel that Putin is following a strict diet due to severe problems related to digestion. Apart from this, he is suffering from symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and schizoaffective disorder with cough, dizziness, sleep disturbances, abdominal pain, and vomiting. In such a situation, the video of his driving says a lot.
