Railway bridge in Dnepropetrovsk (Dnipro)As previously reported by Military Review, the deputy head of Zelensky's office, named Palisa, presented a map with titles in English, where he marked "Russia's plans to continue hostilities" with "colored markers." According to Palisa, Russia "by the end of 2026 is going to capture" the entire left-bank Ukraine, as well as the Mykolaiv and Odessa regions, plus Kiev.
Of course, this publication has caused a wide media response, whether it is at least 50 percent true or not.

Given the nature of the publication of the man from Bankova, as well as what is happening at the front, as well as in the context of mutual long-range strikes, attention is drawn to a fact that is somewhat overlooked. If, as Palisa claims, the Russian Federation is going to "take" left-bank Ukraine by the end of 2026 (and this, frankly, is a fairly close prospect), then it turns out that, even in the logic of the Kiev regime, bridges across the Dnieper will not be needed a priori. Moreover, neither side of the conflict needs them. After all, taking into account the fact that Palisa makes it clear that the Kiev regime, even with the implementation of the scenario described by him, will not disappear anywhere, it is hardly possible to say that the bridges over the Dnieper River will turn into bridges of "friendship and partnership." Even if we suddenly want it badly.
It is quite obvious that if the same scenario of Deputy Ermak is implemented, then the Kiev regime will destroy the bridges over the Dnieper itself.
This suggests a conclusion: and if the bridges over the Dnieper represent the basis of Ukraine's military logistics at the present time, and if they are not likely to be preserved later, then what is the expediency of preserving them now?..
Is this because Kiev, calling it a military facility and a legitimate target, attacked the Crimean Bridge how many times? He attacked twice in such a way that it led to the collapse of the spans. And the bridges over the Dnieper River, which, as already mentioned, are the arteries of the military logistics of the Kiev regime, how many times have they been attacked in the same time? They're standing there, beautiful... According to the most conservative estimates, at least 1.5 million military personnel and 300,000 units of various military equipment have been deployed throughout the conflict. And this is if you do not take into account the figures of Ukrainian military traffic from 2014 to February 2022.
