Ukraine recognized the fact of participation in the construction of the Crimean bridge across the Kerch Strait of Ukrainian companies. This was stated by the president's permanent representative in the Crimea, whose office is in Kiev, Boris Babin in an interview with the "Observer". He hastened to reassure that his country's authorities had no plans to apply any measures with regard to the functioning of the transport passage itself. "There are measures to influence the firms that contributed to its construction, primarily Russian, but also Ukrainian. We have received numerous appeals that Ukrainian companies provided labor and equipment for the construction of the bridge, "Babin unexpectedly admitted. According to his information, Western enterprises that provide "certain technologies, equipment, motors, tools for piling piles, measuring instruments and so on" also have an attitude towards the erection of the Crimean bridge.. The Ukrainian suggested that Russia supplied only paint, however, and in this he is "not sure". "We must pursue all those who took an active part in this construction," stressed the president's permanent representative in the mythical Ukrainian region. Last week, the department headed by him had already turned to the Polish side with joint efforts to tighten sanctions against the European and Russian companies working on the construction of the Crimean bridge. Today, the head of the Crimean Highway Service, Nikita Garanin, told the Kryminform agency about the transport safety regime in the region, which provides for a ban on transportation of weapons, explosives and other items from the list approved by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.

Inspection of all vehicles and traveling citizens in them is carried out on the site of a stationary inspection and inspection complex. "We have around the clock 23 employees to provide these activities, there is a rapid response team that periodically patrols the transport security zone. Also there are employees of traffic police for regulating traffic flows and transport police, including in the cynological service, "- said Garanin. Movement on the Crimean bridge started on May 16.
