Ukrainian Security Council's statement on attacking Crimean bridge unacceptable

The statement of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council's head Oleksiy Danilov on attacking the Crimean bridge is an announcement of a terrorist attack, it is unacceptable and needs legal review, as well as subsequent punishment, Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.

There are a lot of signs of acts that are subject to legal verification and subsequent punishment," Peskov told reporters.
