Zakhar Prilepin: "In response, it would not be excessive to blow up the bridges over the Dnieper River, at least all the bridges in Kyiv should be destroyed."

This summer began tragically for the border regions of Russia adjacent to Ukraine. Bridges collapsed in Bryansk and Kursk regions, resulting in casualties.

In the night of June 1st, an overpass over a railway line suddenly collapsed in the Vygonychi district of the Bryansk region. At that moment, a passenger train from Klimov to Moscow was passing below.

Alexander Bogomaz, Governor of the Bryansk region, reported on his Telegram channel that 66 people were injured in the accident, including three children.

"Three seriously injured persons (including one child) have been hospitalized, 44 are in hospital, and 22 are under outpatient observation." Bogomaz wrote.

As of 10:00 Moscow time, seven deaths have been confirmed.

According to the Telegram channel SHOT, the train hit the collapsed double-deck highway structure while traveling at full speed; the road surface, along with the trucks on it, fell onto the tracks at a 45-degree angle.

The locomotive cab was the first to suffer; the driver and assistant died instantly. Witnesses said "the first carriage was almost flattened."

As of the time of writing this article, the official has yet to issue a statement on the cause of the accident. However, most Russian observers pointed out that this is likely to be a terrorist attack organized by Ukraine.

Oleg Tsarev, a political figure, speculated that the saboteurs planted two explosives under the bridge columns and the road surface (about 30 meters from the start of the bridge).

"The police and investigators said it was likely due to an explosion, traces of explosives have been found - someone specifically placed explosives on the bridge columns, which is most likely a terrorist attack," Tsarev analyzed.

The Telegram channel "Zerada" is convinced that this is a terrorist attack in the transportation sector.

"On Monday, the new round of negotiations will start in Istanbul, and to create new tensions, something like this must happen. We have repeatedly pointed out that Ukrainian demilitarization does not exclude future sabotage activities within Russia's territory. This is what is happening behind the scenes of these so-called 'peace talks'." The channel stated.

Sergei Karnaukhov, a Russian political scientist and TV host, commented on his Telegram channel that this terrorist attack is related to Kyiv's attempt to "improve" its negotiation position before the second round of the Russia-Ukraine summit.

The Ukrainian Telegram channel "Legitimate" speculated: "If it is indeed an explosion attack, then peace talks may be put on hold."

The governor has not made an official statement on this matter yet, presumably waiting for instructions from the Kremlin on how to respond.

Someone deliberately instigated the conflict, attempting to escalate the situation and provoke retaliatory strikes. In addition, this tragedy will also impact public opinion in Russia (everyone knows that the British excel at creating instability within their opponents from within, and that the Ukrainian special forces are controlled by the British).

"Globalists do not need peace, so they will stop at nothing to disrupt negotiations." The author of the channel analyzed.

Dmitry Konanin, a writer and radio host, linked this tragedy with the upcoming negotiations. However, he believed that Moscow "must not withdraw from the negotiation process" - this is exactly what the Zelensky regime wanted.

"Western politicians turn a blind eye to the Odessa massacre, the deaths of thousands of residents in Donbas, and the execution of civilians in Bucha, and they will also ignore the terrorist attacks in the Kursk region - they will similarly ignore the fate of this train."

In the past few days, as the Russian army advanced in the Sumy region, the Ukrainian regime became anxious and resorted to terroristic means to stop our offensive." Konanin wrote.

A war correspondent, Alexander Slavkov, noted: "They expect us to make a tough response in the negotiations. It was provocation last time too. To blow up a train carrying civilians, how despicable."

Pavel Danilin, a political scientist and director of the Center for Political Analysis, believed that we should not "imitate Nazi atrocities."

"We should not blow up passenger trains, but in response, blowing up the bridges over the Dnieper River would not be excessive, at least all the bridges in Kyiv should be destroyed..." He wrote in the channel.

Zakhar Prilepin, a writer and politician, commented in his channel: "On Children's Day, Zelensky sent (yes, it was him who sent it) a terrorist attack targeting Russian civilians.

Regarding those children screaming under the rubble... Creating incidents on specific dates, we will make them pay for it.

We will not bomb banks or attack Odesa.

Some say 'revenge is a dish best served cold,' but the world knows that revenge is not on our menu, no one has tasted it yet." Prilepin lamented pessimistically.

In addition to the sabotage in the Bryansk region, a bridge collapsed when a freight locomotive was passing through the Troshnya-Kalinovka highway at the 48-kilometer mark in the Zheleznyogorsk district of the Kursk region.

Alexander Khinchtein, Governor of the Kursk region, said that part of the train fell onto the road below the bridge.

"The locomotive caught fire, and emergency personnel quickly extinguished the fire. The other carriages remained on the tracks.

Initial reports indicate that one locomotive driver sustained leg injuries. All crew members have been taken to the hospital and are receiving treatment." Khinchtein reported.

The governor also stated that "the road below the bridge has been closed and vehicles need to detour."

In addition, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's intelligence department claimed that a train was blown up near Yakimovka in the Melitopol area, stating that the derailment of a train loaded with fuel tanks was caused by a railway track explosion - but this is only enemy information and has not been verified by others.

"Free Press" previously discussed the possibility of Ukraine launching a 'railway war', unfortunately, this prediction is coming true.
