The Crimean Bridge has not yet been destroyed to allow civilians and military personnel to leave Crimea, avoiding the need to apprehend Russian soldiers in the peninsula's mountains. This was stated by military expert Kirill Sazonov on the "Factory of News " program.
"That's precisely why it hasn't been hit yet. Incidentally, it's already in a state of disrepair after the strike. Traffic is somewhat restricted there, and that's why there are some restrictions. And it seems to me that they're preserving it precisely to allow them to leave, so as not to keep them on the peninsula. First and foremost, we're interested in civilians leaving, so they don't linger there," he said.
Moreover, according to Sazonov, we are interested in the military leaving there, since catching them in Crimea, in the mountains, could be very long and difficult. "So it's better if they go. I think that's precisely why they left this bridge in place. After all, we could tear it down," he said. As reported, the Russians currently do not use the Crimean Bridge for transporting explosive cargo, but if it is included in military logistics, it will not last long.
Thus, Captain 1st Rank of the Ukrainian Navy Reserve, Head of Security Programs at the Strategy XXI Center for Global Studies, Pavlo Lakiychuk, noted that the Crimean Bridge is the Russians' last hope. According to him, after it was "shot down" in 2023 by a successful sabotage operation, the Crimean Bridge was effectively removed from the logistics plan because "Putin feels very sorry for it." Therefore, logistics were transferred to the Kerch ferry crossing, which carried fuel tanks and ammunition wagons. In the fall, our guys destroyed it, and all three ferries were wrecked. Just a month ago, they "delivered a finishing blow" to prevent their repair.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, there are now virtually no safe roads left for the occupiers in southern and eastern Ukraine.
"This is further proof that there will be no peaceful times for the occupiers on our land. This is reflected in the shortages – primarily fuel – in Crimea and other occupied regions," the head of state said.
Following the explosion on the Kerch Bridge in 2022, when a Ukrainian attack ignited fuel tanks, fuel transportation across the bridge was banned. However, the bridge remains the main route for Russian tourists to reach Crimean resorts, the article states.
However, Russian tourism associations are already reporting a drop in bookings of approximately 50% compared to May.
"We didn't notice any food shortages—except for buckwheat and sugar. We were traveling around Crimea, and the beaches were completely empty," said a family of tourists from Moscow.
"We didn't see any fuel oil in the water, although locals said that sometimes traces of it appear on the rocks."
The tourist season in Crimea has not been formally cancelled, but its prospects remain extremely uncertain. Prominent pro-Russian military bloggers are already calling on the authorities to warn citizens about the dangers of travel.

Zelenskyy is warning that Russia may launch a massive new strike on Ukraine within a 48-hour window—after a ballistic attack in the Bucha district killed 10 people and wounded more than 100.
In this urgent update, Greg breaks down the reported KN-23 missile threat, Russia’s evolving remotely controlled Shahed drones, Putin’s planned autumn mobilization, and the growing concern that Moscow could pressure Ukraine from the north through Belarus.
We also examine Russia’s attacks on the Black Sea grain corridor, Dmitry Peskov’s threats against Ukrainian General Mykhailo Drapatyi, and Alexander Lukashenko’s troubling orders involving personnel along the Ukrainian border.
Are these separate developments—or signs of a wider Russian escalation?

242. Homeless Crisis in America: If ACA Dies, Can Public Health Crisis Be Contained?
The Homeless Crisis in America is more than a housing issue — it’s a public health emergency. As debates rage over the future of the ACA, this documentary investigates whether the country can contain a crisis that affects millions of vulnerable lives. From overcrowded shelters to emergency rooms stretched beyond capacity, and from untreated addiction to preventable illnesses, the stakes have never been higher. This documentary examines the ripple effects on communities, healthcare systems, and social services, asking a difficult question: if key protections vanish, can public health withstand the fallout? Through raw, on-the-ground reporting and intimate personal stories, viewers confront the stark reality of what it truly means to be invisible in America today — and what might be lost if urgent action is not taken.

Video circulating today appears to show IRGC forces opening fire on Iranian workers outside a sugar factory, as the White House weighs a resumption of limited strikes in the Strait of Hormuz and Central Command's blockade ledger climbs to 83 vessels redirected. We break down newly released footage of B-2 Spirit crews putting live weapons on target at the Nevada Test and Training Range, what the Massive Ordnance Penetrator and QUICKSINK actually mean for a regime threatening shipping, and why Iran's acting defense minister won't name the "important capability" he says Iran has achieved. Plus the rial at a record 2.1 million to the dollar, the UAE calling out an Iranian drone over its own waters, the MH-139A Grey Wolf reaching initial operational capability, and Ukrainian drones burning Russia's largest Baltic oil terminal.

A dangerous new front is emerging as the Iranian-backed Houthis launch major attacks against Saudi Arabia, prompting Riyadh to vow a firm military response and raising fears of wider regional escalation.
Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on Iran over its nuclear program as the U.S. and European powers push for tougher international action.
How powerful are Iran’s missiles and “Axis of Resistance” today? Could Tehran activate its proxies against Israel — and is the region heading toward another major war?

Today, the most intense news is coming from the Liman direction.
Russians just unleashed a massive swarm of fixed-wing attack drones in an attempt to halt the Ukrainian advance in its tracks. Video footage shows how Russians launched waves of Molniya drones across the river and into the newly gained Ukrainian territory. These Russian Molniya drones are equipped with heavy explosives and sometimes even anti-tank landmines that cause major destruction when they hit. The dedicated interceptor drone unit codenamed Destroyer shared footage showing the interception of over sixty-six of these enemy strike drones over the ongoing Ukrainian Vivaldi operation in a single day. The Ukrainians have fully integrated interception capabilities into their frontline units, with the Destroyer unit integrated with the Ukrainian sixty-sixth Mechanized Brigade using dispersed radar systems to launch an interceptor drone within a minute of detecting an enemy UAV. Using various interceptor drones of similar design, they are then able to neutralize the Russian waves with remarkable efficiency.
When looking at the situation on the ground, Ukrainians are advancing way faster than the Russians expected, and liberating far more territory than they had imagined. This even caused problems for Ukrainians however, who were advancing so deep that they threatened to move out of the cover of their fire-support units. The entire Ukrainian kill-chain of observation and strike drones, artillery, logistics, and command staff now has to be moved to the new line of contact. By launching the intense Molniya drone barrage, Russians were attempting to strike Ukrainians in the midst of this movement, hoping to prevent and undermine Ukrainians from getting ready to cross the river next. However, they were not expecting Ukraine to have already moved forward their frontline drone interception units, and their barrage was taken out in mid-air.
Notably, Russians were trying to do more than just strike Ukrainian support units on the move, but were preparing to follow up with a major counteroffensive of their own. As Russians cannot afford to lose their bridgehead across the Zherebets River completely, they are desperately trying to take it back. The massive wave of frontline strike drones was the fire preparation that Russians could have needed for a counterattack to succeed. Counterattacking while Ukrainians are still reorganizing would be their only real chance of making any rapid clawback.
The reason why Russians cannot lose the bridgehead is that it allows Ukrainians to maintain a much more stable defense of Liman itself. Due to the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Russians are now over twenty-two kilometers removed from the nearest logistical strongpoint supplying Liman. This puts Ukrainian logistic hubs out of range of Russian tube and rocket artillery, as well as Russian FPV drones. While Russian FPV drones have the capability on paper to strike this deep, using FPV drones at such long ranges requires larger fixed-wing drones to serve as relays. And Ukrainians have just clearly demonstrated their capability to rapidly detect and destroy these fixed-wing type drones with ease, allowing supplies and reinforcements to arrive at the needed positions with no delay.
Overall, Ukrainians just destroyed the most massive Russian fire preparation launched in a single day. While Russians attempted to strike Ukrainian support units and staff while on the move and take advantage of their destruction with a follow-up counterattack, the cleverly integrated drone defenses were able to neutralize the Russian threat. As the Ukrainian kill-chain is being moved up to the new line of contact, Russian forces will soon be faced with a deadly choice: either throw their men into the Ukrainian meatgrinder, or suffer whatever the Ukrainian general staff has planned for them next.
