Ukraine: Strategic developments in Kyiv
In Kyiv, bridges will be strengthened against drones, and pontoon crossings and a tunnel under the Dnipro are being considered. Key points from an interview with the Minister of Infrastructure Kalashnyk with Suspilne: 🔹 Starting next week, the construction of several artificial dams with pontoon crossings is planned to begin in Kyiv. The work may last up to three months, and the crossings are intended to provide at least half the capacity of the current bridges. 🔹 Approximately 600,000 cars cross the left and right banks of Kyiv daily. The goal of reserve crossings is to maintain this throughput. 🔹 Locations have already been identified. Such crossings are planned to be built in other regions of Ukraine as well, not just across the Dnipro. 🔹 The ministry is also considering quickly erected concrete structures and, in the future, a tunnel under the Dnipro. Such projects could cost tens of billions of hryvnias and require partner support: "there is a task to find such resources." 🔹 The main priority remains the protection of existing bridges. Anti-drone nets and other attached equipment are planned to be installed on them, as well as strengthening air defense, electronic warfare, and radio-electronic reconnaissance coverage.
