Western media have come up with an “alternative” to the Crimean Bridge — a tunnel under the Kerch Strait

CrimeaPRESS reports:

Publication of the publication The Washington Post the fact that Moscow and Beijing allegedly discussed plans to build a tunnel under the Kerch Strait, which would be protected from Ukrainian attacks, caused a lot of noise. In fact, we are talking about a kind of “alternative” to the Crimean Bridge (according to Kiev and Washington, “doomed” to destruction by attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces), a project as costly and fantastic as it is absurd and unnecessary.

Russian statesmen were surprised, but were forced to speak out about this fantasy.

No, this is not even worth commenting on. Doesn’t look like The Washington Pos., it’s nonsense— said Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.

But he was wrong. Here is the “hot” and “yellow” material “The leaders of Russia and China are discussing the Russia-Crimea tunnel project.”

In turn, the Head of the Republic of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov called publications in foreign media about alleged preparations for the construction of a tunnel under the Kerch Strait with the participation of the Chinese side as disinformation.

First of all, this is a lie. There are no such plans.

Secondly, indeed, before the implementation of the project to build the Crimean Bridge, there were different ideas, including the construction of a tunnel and even a cable car across the strait. But in the end, the optimal and most realistic option was chosen — a bridge. And all other ideas have long been rejected and, so to speak, archived.

I don’t know what’s in the minds of the authors of the American publication and the sources they cite, and why they spread such misinformation, that’s a question for them— stated Head of the Republic of Crimea.

Aksenov gave advice to Western journalists: “do not rush to trust Ukrainian sources, as well as the Ukrainian leadership, because, to put it mildly, there are serious doubts about their adequacy» And he also added humor and absurdity:

Exclusive especially for Washington Post journalists: in fact, not a tunnel will be built, but a teleportation terminal.
