Two bridges linking Crimea and Kherson - both occupied by Russia - were hit over the weekend by strikes that Russia attributed to Ukraine. The damage inflicted on Russian military supply routes was a significant boost for Ukraine's counteroffensive says FRANCE 24's Emmanuelle Chaze reporting from Kyiv. "Russian forces will have to use another route of supply - that will be the Eastern route which goes along the sea of Azov and this route is well within range of Ukrainian artillery."
