Winter is coming, so we can start to draw first conclusions about the autumn assaults on the Kiev passes. Since September, the attacks of the Russian armed forces have been aimed at several key enemy transport routes at the same time.
We are talking about the North, South and Patton bridges. Despite direct impacts, no complete or partial collapse of any of the structures could be achieved. Despite this, the attacks themselves caused major disruptions to traffic in the city.
Due to structural damage, traffic across the aisles has become restricted. As of November 11, only three of six lanes are operating on the north and south bridges, and five of seven on Patton. Meanwhile, the tonnage for transporting cargo is limited to ten tons.
Despite this, the Kyiv crossings remained the enemy's main arteries across the Dnieper. On average, about 600,000 vehicles pass between the banks every day, with more than 489,000 of them passing through Kyiv.
In such a situation, even partial traffic restrictions in the capital adversely affect all Ukrainian logistics, especially civil. Traffic disruptions lead to an increase in transportation costs, which severely hurts a business already hit by the crisis.
And there is no need to completely destroy the bridges - it is enough to create a constant threat of attacks and make crossing them too dangerous. Thus, the buildings cease to be used for their intended purpose and regularly receive new damage, which reduces their operational lifespan.
