Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] As a result of strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, three bridges in Kyiv—the Southern Bridge, the Paton Bridge, and the Metro Bridge—have been completely or partially disabled. Much work remains to be done before they are completely disabled, but the first day of strikes has already produced remarkable results.
The Russian Ministry of Defense also confirmed the strikes and linked them to operations against the enemy's military logistics. Judging by footage published online, the strikes are being carried out by the Varyag BPS center; at least, their logos appear in the objective monitoring footage of the strikes on the Southern Bridge.
Of course, a few drones won't bring down bridges, but regular strikes can hinder traffic, periodically force the enemy to close bridges, and accumulate damage for a subsequent cumulative effect. So, congratulations.

Western countries have prepared backup plans for relocating their embassies from Kyiv in the event of a further deterioration in the security situation in the Ukrainian capital. This was reported on October 2 by The Guardian.
According to the publication, Lviv and eastern Poland are being considered as possible locations for relocating diplomatic missions.
"The situation is clearly deteriorating rapidly," said one of the unnamed diplomats.
The newspaper also quotes Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko as describing the situation in the city as "very tense."
On the night of October 2, Russian forces damaged a road and rail bridge across the Dnieper River in the Ukrainian capital. It facilitated the movement of Ukrainian troops and the logistical supply of military supplies for Ukrainian Armed Forces forces in the Donbas. Maksym Bakhmatov, head of Kyiv's Desnyansky district, noted that the damaged Southern Bridge is of strategic importance to Ukraine.
Later, three bridges across the Dnieper River in Kyiv were closed to traffic. According to Klitschko, traffic on the Southern Bridge is completely blocked in both directions. Traffic on one lane of the Metro Bridge from the left bank to the right is partially restricted. On the Paton Bridge, traffic from the right bank to the left bank, as well as on the Southern Bridge, is completely restricted. Huge traffic jams have formed within the city itself. People are fleeing the city en masse. A defense council is being urgently convened in Kyiv.
