See the Crimean bridge from incredible angles? Why not! Russian cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky posted unique construction footage on his Instagram. I wish Ukrainian ill-wishers to see for themselves and go urgently to heal the ulcer. The bridge is not a fiction, as they would like it to be.

The photographs were taken while Ryazansky was aboard the International Space Station. On them you can also see the railway arch recently installed on the bridge. Cosmonauts have been following the construction process for a long time, marveling at its scale and the complexity of the tasks assigned to the builders.

“We are also following the construction of the bridge across the Kerch Strait from the International Space Station. At the beginning of this week, one of the most complex structures was installed - a railway arch weighing 6,000 tons was lifted onto fairway supports at a height of 35 meters above sea level. In the photographs, just, it is clearly visible.

A few days ago, the railway arch of the Crimean Bridge, which weighs about 6,000 tons, was put on supports and fixed. More than a hundred specialists took part in this operation: engineers, sailors, employees of scientific research institutes and ordinary motor builders.

Under the arch, even the first ship passed - the dry cargo ship "Saint Alexei", ​​proceeding from the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov to the Black Sea. Everything went off without incident, strictly according to plan. After that, bloggers wrote on social networks that the arch was “consecrated”, because the cargo ship was named very symbolically. Therefore, the curses of Ukrainian Russophobes did not affect the arch.

All that remains now for the authorities in Kyiv is to complain and suffer because of the successes in Russia in the Crimea. It is difficult to lie, it is vain to hope that the Crimeans will ever want to return. Independence is a fall to the very bottom, and Russia is a movement forward, towards the future that we are so accustomed to calling bright. And we won't let anyone hurt us...

"Kiev Express" monitors information about the launch of car traffic on the Crimean bridge across the Kerch Strait. Every day, the Russian media brag about their success in completing the construction of a bridge to the temporarily occupied Crimea.

The day before, a group of bloggers drove along the auto part of the Crimean bridge and tested the route laid from the Krasnodar Territory to Kerch. You can see what the Crimean bridge looks like in the video above.

And pictures of the bridge from space were shown by Anton Shkaplerov. The astronaut is currently on the crew of the International Space Station. On Instagram, Shkaplerov showed how the Crimean bridge looks from a great height and commented: “Here are fresh pictures of the Crimean peninsula and the Crimean bridge, construction is ahead of schedule. Just in time for the start of the holiday season.”

Kerch Bridge April 25 shown on video

Blogger Igor Korsakov, on whose video footage they noticed cracks on the support of the bridge across the Kerch Strait, posted a fresh video taken on April 25. He commented: “Fences are being installed, the sewerage system has begun to be installed. There will also be noise barriers, and the road itself will be like in a tunnel. The sewage treatment system will withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 10. Water purification will be up to the level of indicators of the reservoir of the fishery complex. 239 supports have been installed on the railway part of the Crimean bridge, 39 more remain to be installed.”
