This is one time the Russians' pathological indifference to the welfare of their own troops and people will come back to bite them. Putin will find that the past tactics of overwhelming enemy forces with sheer numbers won't work if you no longer have the population to support the wastage. As for the Kerch bridge, there has been one report that the truck bomb was not the work of the Ukrainians but disaffected Russians - five of the eight people arrested for this attack are Russians. Putin has exposed the Russian army as a paper tiger, except for the nukes, but the recent UN vote on Russia's invasion shows Russia no longer can intimidate other nations into following its lead..... Couple that with the continuing demographic slide and economic damage from the sanctions, and it is clear that Putin will be long remembered in Russian history, but not in the way he might want.....
The Ukrainian intelligence service has privately taken responsibility - the work of special forces. But the public ambiguity let the Russians go arrest who they did. And that will just sow more disaffection among their population. So, a win-win.
