Bomb Tower Bridge in revenge for Crimea blast, demands top Putin propagandist
Britain has been blamed for a bomb blast in Crimea according to one of Vladimir Putin's supporters who is now calling for a revenge attack on London's Tower Bridge.
The explosion on the Kerch bridge - a major route linking Russia with Crimea - saw two people killed this morning. Natalya Kulik, 36, and her husband Alexei, 40, died in their Hyundai car which was close to one of the blasts which destroyed a section of the crossing.
Their daughter Angelina, 14, suffered body wounds, a broken nose and concussion and is now in hospital but is unaware her parents both died in the incident.
The head of RT propaganda media empire Margaret Simonyan - a close ally of the Russian president also known as “Goebbels in a skirt” - said she suspected the “attack on the Crimean bridge was carried out with the help of British intelligence.”
She asked: "Does this make Tower Bridge a legitimate target? For me, that's quite it.”

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: “The decision to attack the Crimean bridge is made by Ukrainian officials and the military, with the participation of American and British intelligence services.” Britain and the US were “in charge of the terrorist state structure” in Ukraine, she alleged.

They only understand the language of power. Only personal and completely inhumane methods.
“Therefore, it is necessary to blow up their own houses and the houses of their relatives. Look for and eliminate their accomplices, abandoning the insipid idea of a trial against them.
“But the main thing is to destroy the top leadership of terrorist formations, in whatever cracks these insects hide.It's difficult but possible.”
Russian senator Vladimir Dzhabarov insisted Putin redouble efforts to invade Ukraine. “Ukraine must be completely cut off from the Black Sea, otherwise the threats to Crimea will be repeated again and again,” he said. “Odessa and Mykolaiv should again become Russian regions.”

He posted: “We will understand that these tasks have been completed when such actions become impossible for the remnants of the Ukrainian state.”
The Russian Investigative Committee was today seen scouring the blitzed bridge as they began a criminal investigation into the blast. The 12-mile long structure was opened in 2018 and enables travel between Russia and Crimea - Ukrainian territory held by Moscow's forces since 2014.
Russia’s Ministry of Transport has confirmed that there is damage to the road. It did not confirm reports that the bridge’s supporting pillars have been damaged. “The ministry stressed that the inspection of the bridge’s condition is ongoing,” Tass wrote on its Telegram channel.
In October last year, the bridge was partially closed following another explosion, before it fully reopened in February.
