As I see a lot of comments that it’s not an Antonovsky bridge and rather a suspension bridge.
- It is an Antonovsky bridge and cable above most likely is an electricity cable located close to the camera.

According to both claims from Ukrainian and Russian side - bridge is not suitable for crossing even on light vehicles.
Intriguing.

-Damage is visible on the other side of the bridge as well. I assume this damage was caused during strikes on barges. (Barges are located very close to the bridge which makes it harder to aim)

Locals report that the barge bridge was disassembled by Russians. One of theories is that it’s due to the fact that a bunch of other barges which Russians used as ferries were destroyed by Ukrainian strikes.

There is still no movement of vehicles across barge-bridge, only a forklift was seen on it

Strike on the area close to the bridge barge or ferry crossings. ~23:30 local time
(Note that strike from bridge direction does not mean that bridge itself was the target. For some time already, pontoon, barge crossings have become most often targets.)

🪡🧵/1. Footage shows the NEMESIS unit of the @usf_army “bombarding” NATO armored columns during drills in Estonia.
NEMESIS, a Ukrainian unit that participated in major NATO exercises in Estonia, helped simulate a drone-dominated battlefield for the Alliance.
Below is a thread with NEMESIS drone operators insights and the experience they gained during the drills.
/2. The military exercise Hedgehog-2025 took place in Estonia in May last year.
More than 16,000 service members from 12 NATO member states, as well as Ukraine, participated in the drills — including operators from the 412th Nemesis Brigade.
/3. Under one of the exercise scenarios, a large NATO battlegroup numbering several thousand troops conducted an offensive operation.
Playing the role of the opposing force was a Ukrainian UAV unit — bomber drone crews from the 412th NEMESIS Brigade, along with several FPV drone teams from the 427th Rarog Brigade and the International Legion of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR).
/1. (WSJ) - NATO conducted large-scale military exercises in Estonia, the Hedgehog 2025 drills, bringing together more than 16,000 troops from 12 member states, with Ukrainian drone operators serving as a simulated adversary.
The exercise laid bare a sobering conclusion: Alliance is not ready for a battlefield where drones dominate the sky and make every move visible and vulnerable.
/2. The exercises goal was to recreated a battlefield packed with threats and constant drone activity, pushing units to operate under pressure and testing how well they could adapt in real time.
From the outset, things did not go as smoothly. In one scenario, a NATO battle group of several thousand troops, including a British brigade and an Estonian division, advanced as if the battlefield had not fundamentally changed, effectively ignoring the drone threat as though it did not exist.
“The NATO battle group simply moved around without camouflage, setting up tents and armored vehicles. Everything was destroyed,” said one participant who acted as the opposing force.
/3. A single Ukrainian team of about 10 personnel acting as the simulated enemy managed within half a day to replicate the destruction of 17 armored vehicles and carry out 30 additional strikes on other targets.
According to Aivar Hanniotti, who commanded the roughly 100-strong opposing unit, more than 30 drones were operating in an area of less than 10 square kilometers — only about half the drone density currently seen along Ukraine’s front line.
“There was no possibility to hide. We quite easily found cars and mechanized units, and we were able to take them out quite fast with strike drones,”
(1/8) In Sweden, nuns from the St. Elisabeth Convent, originally based in Belarus, embedded in 20 churches, worked for Russian intelligence and raised funds for the Russian army while posing as a charity.
(2/8) This exposure forced the Swedish Church to issue an official warning to other Catholic communities, stating that nuns of the St. Elisabeth Monastery direct their earnings toward supporting Russian nationalism and Moscow’s aggression against Ukraine, while maintaining close ties to the GRU.
In Sweden, those nuns became known as the “Z-nuns.”
(3/8) What Z-nuns sold as “souvenirs” in Swedish churches actually served as a funding tool for Russian military units.
Thus proceeds from the sales were channelled directly towards supporting Russia's war effort.
