The global media is very fragmented, and people don't get information from other countries very easily.
Russians have already launched an ongoing investigation, and are reporting it locally as follows... I'll use Google Translate from one of the Telegram channels carrying the news:
The case of the explosion on the Crimean bridge was brought under the article "terrorism". During the investigation of the terrorist act on the Crimean bridge, many witnesses and eyewitnesses were interrogated, special expert studies were started and largely completed — Bastrykin
As the head of the Investigative Committee noted at a meeting with the President of the Russian Federation, explosive, genetic and forensic examinations were carried out. He also said that relevant instructions had been given to the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to conduct operational-search activities.
Later that day:
In preparing the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, the Ukrainian special services resorted to the services of a fly-by-night company - it was through it that they ordered the ill-fated truck
According to media reports, the driver Mahir Yusubov was transporting cargo on the order of the TEK-34 company, which ordered him to transport the film from Armavir to Simferopol on October 6. As Readovka already wrote, the driver could have been on the Crimean bridge on October 7, Vladimir Putin's birthday, but stopped nearby for the night.
As Readovka found out, the head of TEK-34 is Oleg Aleksandrovich Antipov, and the company is registered in Ulyanovsk. Antipov has been in charge since November 13, 2020. Previously, the company was registered in the Volgograd region, but at the end of March 2022, the legal address was changed to Ulyanovsk.
For 2021, according to our data, the company's revenue was equal to zero, and the company itself is listed as unreliable, since it has not paid taxes for at least the last three years. On the forums of carriers, comments were written on behalf of the TEK-34 company in the period from 2018 to 2020 - on behalf of a certain Olga.
All this points to the work of the Ukrainian special services, whose involvement in the terrorist attack is no longer in doubt after publications in major Western publications. To implement their plan, they resorted to the use of a fly-by-night company, of which, unfortunately, there are a considerable number in Russia.
And today:
According to information from KP military correspondent Alexander Kots, the cargo, ordered by a citizen of Ukraine, arrived by sea from Bulgaria in the form of 22 pallets of film to Georgian Poti. After that, it was loaded onto a truck and sent to Armenia, where it was cleared according to the rules of the Customs Union. As a result, the truck again entered Georgia, and then crossed the border with the Russian Federation through the Upper Lars checkpoint and went to Armavir, where the cargo was transferred to another truck, which drove onto the Crimean bridge.
Most likely, the explosives were planted in rolls of film to avoid detection through x-rays. This happened in Bulgaria, which indicates the participation of foreign intelligence services in organizing the attack.
- crazygringo 4y agoRolls of film? How big are these rolls that we're talking about? Not 35mm. Are we talking movie projector rolls? Or something larger and more industrial or medical? Also you would think that if anything were required to be hand-inspected 100% of the time, you'd think it would be things that couldn't be x-rayed... precisely like rolls of film... Not saying it isn't true, just saying that the inspection incompetence is shocking for something that is a known top priority military target.

- akmarinov 4y agoBulgarian here: our government when it was around and currently our president are very anti supplying Ukraine with weapons or provoking Russia in any way. Only us and Hungary haven’t supported Ukraine in a military manner from all the EU/NATO countries. Our president refused to sign the recent Ukraine into NATO document that all of Eastern Europe signed, citing that he doesn’t want to be directly involved in the war and this would allegedly enter us in the war. This allegation that Bulgarian intelligence services had a hand in this seems really unlikely, as there’s quite a bit of pro-Russia sentiments in a lot of politicians and military leaders. I’d be extremely surprised that they had a hand in it. On the other hand, any repercussions or threats from Russia would finally force even the most pro-Russia politicians to take a stance against them or be looked on as a traitor. Very interested to see what message Russia puts out regarding this, if any.
