About Crimea Bridge:

The Kerch Bridge, also known as Crimea Bridge, is the only direct link between the transport network of Russia and the Crimean peninsula.
The bridge that passes over the Kerch Strait was inaugurated in 2018, four years following Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
Significance of the Bridge:
- Supply of Essential Goods: The bridge is crucial for supplying essential goods to Crimea, including fuel, food, and products for the Black Sea Fleet in the port of Sevastopol.
- Strategic Military Route: It also serves as a strategic military route, facilitating the movement of Russian forces to southern Ukraine.

About Kerch Strait:

The Kerch Strait is located in Eastern Europe.
It serves as a waterway that connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Azov.
This strait acts as a natural boundary, separating the Kerch Peninsula in Crimea from the Taman Peninsula in Russia.
Its name is derived from the Crimean city of Kerch.
