Here's the daily footage posted by locals, by the way. They write that there are more similar cases  in the cities.
By the way, the Office of the President and its propagandists assure that there are no losses...but what we see here is enhanced mobilization, although the authorities are carefully concealing it.
A paradox, eh?

Satellite image of the Crimean bridge.
Taken on 3 January. It shows that the damaged spans of the second branch have already been removed, after the first branch, on which traffic was launched in December, was rebuilt.
Completion of the repair of the second branch, which also involves replacing the blast-damaged spans (they have already been made), is scheduled for March. All works, including eliminating the consequences of the explosion on the railway bridge are expected by the beginning of June.

The road bridge is now single line, + the Kerch ferry crossing is active (except on days when there is stormy weather in the Kerch Strait).

"Russia is preparing for an escalation of the situation in February, while Medvedchuk's former MP Taras Kozak is holding meetings with Europeans and pushing for the signing of peace agreements à la Minsk-3."
The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said this on the air of the telethon (Reported by Strana)

"February will be crucial for them," because the dates are important to them, like anniversaries and the like. They are preparing for the aggravation.

Now a man named Kozak has stepped up his activities. He is holding meetings with European authorities to force us to sign certain peaceful agreements, as they say, "à la Minsk 3."

Of course, we will not go for it. There are many markers that give us reason to say that in February they may have another attempt to resolve this issue.

There will be the Munich Security Conference in the second half of February and events in New York on February 23–24. The Red Cross is now starting to get very concerned about what we are killing Russians with. "There are many markers indicating that there may be a certain escalation in February," Danilov said.
