SIMFEROPOL (Sputnik) - Crimean parliament speaker Vladimir Konstantinov told Sputnik, commenting on a recent report by an American newspaper, that the intelligence services of three countries were behind the two deadly attacks on the Crimean Bridge.
On Monday, the news agency reported, citing sources, that naval drones used by Kiev in July to strike the bridge that links Crimea to mainland Russia were developed by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other Western intelligence services.

"The strike on the bridge is a well-planned, well-calculated operation, including with the help of military aircraft and reconnaissance drones. As in the first terrorist attack, three countries took part in this [the second attack] — besides the SBU [the Ukrainian Security Service], without the CIA and MI6 [the UK Secret Intelligence Service], this could not have been carried out. They won't trick us with tales about their innocence," Konstantinov emphasized.

Crimean Bridge Attack: Ukraine’s Sabotage Teams Take Orders From Washington, Senior Official Reveals
The intelligence services of the United States and United Kingdom are accomplices in the crimes committed by Kiev, he added.

"They will not be able to escape responsibility. One day they say they are against the bombing of Gaza, the next day the bombings 'accidentally' begin. Of course, all this is done in order to lull someone's vigilance," the lawmaker stressed.

Konstantinov also described the Washington Post's investigation as misinformation, adding that Ukraine had long lost its independence and acts on direct instructions of Western countries.
The Crimean Bridge has been a target of Ukrainian attacks since the start of Russia's military operation. Last October, a truck bomb exploded on the bridge, killing the driver and four civilians and damaging the bridge. Ukraine initially denied having anything to do with the bombing, but later acknowledged the attack was carried out by its security service. In July, Ukraine attacked the bridge with sea drones, killing a couple who were driving across when the bridge was bombed and injuring their teenage daughter. The bridge was damaged as a result of the strike.
