Details: Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, said that "at the beginning of next week it (the bridge - ed.) will be ready". He added that the company that built the Crimean Bridge was working to repair the Antonivka Bridge.

Background:

• Russian forces have started using a ferry crossing to transport military equipment across the Dnipro river near the Russian-occupied city of Kherson. Images of the crossing have been captured by the Planet Labs satellite.
• Previously, the Russian occupying forces mostly used the Antonivka Bridge to transfer their troops and military equipment as the crossing closest to Kherson. However, after the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the Antonivka Bridge, it became unsuitable for use.
