On November 10, 2026, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, Gerasimov, ordered the destruction of bridges across the Dnipro. This move has raised concerns among military experts and officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Consequences for Ukrainian Cities
Officer of the Assault Troops Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yaroslavskyi, stated that if a ceasefire cannot be agreed upon this winter, Russia may take actions that render Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa, uninhabitable.
Prospects for Peace Negotiations
Yaroslavskyi emphasized that the situation requires urgent action from the international community to prevent further escalation of the conflict. If peace talks do not take place, the destruction of bridges may just be the beginning of new aggressive actions from Russia.
