Moment nervous Putin tightly grips wheel as he ‘drives on wrecked Crimea bridge’ in bid to conceal crippled war machine

VLADIMIR Putin has shared a video of himself driving over a crucial bridge between Crimea and Russia – three months after it was wiped out in a Ukrainian airstrike. Russian state media posted the footage of Vlad behind the wheel as he crossed the Crimean Bridge, a vital corridor between Russia and the illegally-annexed Ukrainian territory. In the short clip, he is seen tightly gripping the wheel as he and Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin drove over the bridge. The PR stunt comes just under three months after a Ukrainian airstrike took out the bridge, amid Putin’s chaotic invasion.
