2. Civil logistics. Firstly, its volume has decreased because the season has ended. Secondly, since 2014, when there was a wave of Russian tourists, the annexation of Crimea was handled by ferries. That was enough.
3. The nature of the damage to the bridge, which can be judged now, suggests that the bridge with modern engineering technologies can be restored in a week. And even less.
4. The supply of fuel and lubricants to the peninsula took place with the help of ships.
5. Fuels and lubricants, which are transported by cars, have never been transported over the bridge.
