MOSCOW, June 7 - RIA Novosti. Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov spoke about the advantages that Moscow gained after the commissioning of the Crimean bridge.

According to him, the construction of the transport artery has strengthened Russia's military potential in the region and allowed creating a "powerful military infrastructure" along the Ukrainian border.

"What is very dangerous - the erection of the Kerch bridge allows you to significantly increase the military contingent," Turchynov quoted UNIAN.

Ukrainian politicians still can not decide how to relate to the bridge across the Kerch Strait. So, the permanent representative of the president of Ukraine in the Crimea, Boris Babin spoke about the "problems" that allegedly arose in Russia with commercial shipping because of its construction.

The deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Igor Mosiychuk, in his turn, said that the construction must be destroyed, and shortly before that, his colleague Refat Chubarov demanded that the bridge be transferred to Ukraine as an "indemnity".

In Russia, these attacks were severely criticized. So, the head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov called them "marasmatic" and advised not to pay attention to such statements. In the State Duma, in turn, stressed that any attempts by Kiev to arrange a provocation on the transport artery will be severely suppressed.

The bridge to Crimea from the Krasnodar Territory is the longest in Russia, its length is 19 kilometers. The beginning of the movement of cars was originally planned for December, but the work was completed ahead of schedule. The first trains will pass through the bridge in 2019.
