PETROZAVODSK, July 31. /TASS/. Ukraine’s attacks on the Crimean Bridge confirm that in aiding the Kiev regime, the US and its allies are in fact sponsors of terrorism, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev said.

"American journalist Seymour Hersh said, quoting a US official, that the Biden administration played a decisive role in both attacks on the Crimean Bridge during which American technologies were used. This confirms yet again that by providing financial aid to the Kiev regime and continuing arms supplies, the US and its allies are factually the sponsors of terrorism," Patrushev said at a meeting on Karelia’s security issues in Petrozavodsk.

"Such actions by the West underscore the importance of tasks to ensure the security of our citizens, which are being resolved during the special military operation in Ukraine," he added.
