Ukraine has demonstrated expanded long-range strike capabilities, hitting military and logistical targets deep inside Russia, including a Black Sea tanker and a military plant 1,350 km from its border, while also announcing plans for significantly increased drone range. Concurrently, Russia is reportedly preparing a massive strike on Ukraine, and its intensified attacks have led to the suspension of vessel entry to Ukraine's Black Sea ports.

Resolution

Resolved as wrong on Aug 27, 2026

The claim required credible international news sources to report physical damage to the Kerch Bridge caused by Ukrainian forces by August 6, 2026. The context provided does not include any reports from such sources confirming damage to the Kerch Bridge by that date. The closest evidence is from June 3, 2025, where Ukraine claimed an attack on the bridge, but there is no confirmation of physical damage by August 6, 2026. Therefore, the claim is resolved as 'wrong'.
