My guess is that the Ukrainians had something to do with it, but we'll have to wait and see how that unfolds. We do know for sure that this is humiliating for Vladimir Putin, he built this bridge, I remember the pictures of him driving across it — It was one of their great achievements.

I am glad that my years-long fight to have my school see me for who I am is over.
