Zelensky claims Kiev did not order terror attack on the Crimean Bridge

"We have definitely not ordered anything like that, as far as I know," Vladimir Zelensky stressed

KIEV, October 20. /TASS/. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky claimed that, "as far as he knows," Kiev did not order the terror attack on the Crimean Bridge.

"We have definitely not ordered anything like that, as far as I know," he said in an interview for Canada’s CTV.

On October 8, a truck was detonated on the Crimean Bridge, igniting cargo train fuel tanks. Four people died in the explosion. Two sections of the automobile part of the bridge collapsed. Russian Investigative Committee head Alexander Bastrykin called it a terror attack, pointing out that Ukrainian intelligence agencies are behind it.

The same day, Ukrainian presidential office head advisor Mikhail Podolyak tweeted "Crimea, bridge, beginning," which some perceived as Kiev’s acknowledgement of responsibility for the terror attack.

On October 11, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Kiev initially was bragging about its involvement in the explosion on the Crimean Bridge, but later started to cowardly disown it under pressure from Washington.
