The construction of the bridge across the Kerch Strait will cause irreparable damage to the Ukrainian budget. In Kiev, it is believed that the ability to travel freely from one Russian region to another will somehow affect the financial well-being of the neighboring state. Such fears were shared by the representative of the fictional Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (ARC) Gunduz Mamedov.

"The damage from the construction of the bridge is estimated at 10 billion hryvnia (22.3 billion rubles). We are preparing the appointment of environmental engineering expertise. We have resources for holding it, but I would not like to talk about them, "Mammadov said on the air of the channel" Direct ".

How exactly will the bridge damage the Ukrainian economy, the prosecutor's office did not specify. However, in June of this year, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Yury Lavrenyuk stated that the crossing would interfere with navigation. The official said that the erection of the construction will lead to a significant reduction of ship calls to the seaports of Mariupol and Berdyansk, a decrease in their cargo turnover, as well as profitability of metallurgical enterprises in the region.

Previously, Ukrainian officials also claimed about the irreparable environmental damage that the bridge allegedly would cause the ecosystem of the Azov Sea. As evidence, Kiev provided aerial photos of the Kerch Strait, carried out by NASA satellites. These cadres sent to a special examination.

The representative of the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (which is actually located in Kiev) Gyunduz Mamedov specializes in calculating the damage that Russia inflicted on Ukraine by its actions to annex the Crimean Peninsula. In August, he claimed that Kiev's loss of control over the territory of the Crimea and all the ensuing consequences deprived him of 1.08 trillion hryvnias (2.41 trillion rubles).

The losses were assessed by the guild of appraisers at the request of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, explained Mammadov. In the sounded amount was included Scythian gold, and archaeological heritage, and works of art, which went to Russia.

About damage in 1 trillion hryvnia from the loss of the Crimea Ukrainians said even in the spring of last year. According to the chief military prosecutor of the country, Anatoly Matios, this figure takes into account only the value of real estate and infrastructure of state-owned enterprises, without taking into account the territorial losses and private property on the territory of the peninsula.

September 2015. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavel Klimkin said that Ukraine will demand to collect from Russia about $ 50 billion in international courts as a "compensation for damage" for the Crimea and the Donbass. At the same time he noted that for quick satisfaction of the international judicial instances of their demands, Kiev does not have to count: "This is a question of four or six years".

Prior to this, the first deputy minister of justice of Ukraine, Natalya Sevastyanova, stated that Ukraine would try to appropriate foreign property of Russia as compensation for economic losses when the Crimea left the country.

The Crimean bridge must connect the Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory. The total length of the building will be 19 km, the bridge will be the longest in Russia. It is assumed that the automobile traffic will be launched in 2018. , and the railway - in 2019.
