– Ukraine strike on Crimea Bridge complicates both civilian and military logistics to Crimea – the former more so than the latter;
– The bridge attack is likely to be followed by anticipated offensive operations by Ukraine in Zaporizhzhia toward Melitopol;
– The bridge attack + Melitopol offensive is meant to isolate Crimea;
– Ukraine’s offensive will leave its forces overextended, depleted and vulnerable to Russian forces who have throughout the duration of Ukraine’s offensives preserved their manpower and equipment;
