@Arterexius It doesn't matter what Ukraine wants, Russia needs to have it's border on the black sea. Simple geography means that with NATO tanks around 600 miles (less than the length pof England, and Scotland) from the centre of Moscow, on land that are the best conditions for tank warfare; wide open undulating plains. This means that russia can never settle for an independent Ukraine. Plus Russia needs the black sea ports more than NATO. The german armies took Kyiv in 5 weeks from a standing start, this land from Mongolia to the eastern side of France was first the playground of cavalry, now it will be the playground of NATO tanks. THAT Russia can never allow. The bridge itself is not a great startegic tool unless you want to occupy southern Russia, or the Crimea, wher whole armies can be bottled up by some claver tactics, and lots of artillery, some lightly armed, but very mobile armoured vehicles with anti tank guns. It's real position is commercial, and in selling grain and goods to Russia.

@Arterexius Wow. Well I have made tactical analysis mistakes!! Comparing Germany and it's invasion of Soviet Russia to Fascist Russia and it's invasion of Ukraine is exactly the right thing to do! Russia's Tecnology is supposed to be more adavanced than that of the Ukraine. For example the Armata was before this, considered better than a Challenger 2. So comparing Russia with Germny in WW2 is perfectly acceptable. So that was the first and Second dealt with in short order.
Correct NATO doesn't need a black sea port it presently controls the black sea from Bulgaria, Turkey, and Romainia. All three have Black sea ports, and are presently blockading the Russian Navy from going much further south than Crimea. Also despite what you claim Sevastopol is the most influential port Russia presently has because it is the only one that is not winter bound by ice. So YES RUSSIA DOES IN FACT NEED A BLACK SEA PORT. Especially for it's navy that is really what the invasion of Crimea was for.
Why are we talking about a port? The reson is that Russia needs Black sea ports, and from these believe it or not ships can transport goods far faster by sea than by land, and bridges. Exactly why do you think Russia has allowed Ukraine to export Grain by the Black sea? If land routes were as good to transport goods then of course the rest of the world would have been using the roads in Ukraine to the EU to transport the grain the world needs. Do you honestly NOT follow the politics around this war, and Why Putin agreed to Ukraine transporting unmollested grain from it's ports there? Wow come on this is very simple stuff, and should be extremely easy for even someone like you to keep up with...
Why is a silly little bridge important to Ukraine? For possible future Russia/Ukaraine wars it is in entirely the wrong place. It leads to the no mans land towards the middle east. Surely even you should know that strategically it has absolutely no importance to this war, or any future war. Russia can cut it far too easily, it isn't like several bridges across an area that has vast amounts of commerce between the two countries. The real problem for Russia is having NATO tanks withtin hours of Moscow. not whether Ukraine needs a bridge towards China, and the southern Asian lands.
IF Ukraine retakes Crimea!! Are you for real here? That is NOT an if, it WILL happen in the next two years.To retake Crimea, Ukraine actually doesn't need the bridge at all it needs Kherson. Kherson controls both the potable (drinkable if you don't understand what that meant) water, and the power to Crimea, and most of the Kherson Oblast. Wow to be honest you know actually nothing of the politics and geography of war
Your points are also none existant. ukraine has stated that they WILL only go into diplomatic talks with Moscow when, and only when they have Crimea. How is it you don't know any of this if you are commenting on here? Ukraine will never go into talks with Russia again about it's borders. Russia has already signed an agreement with the UK, the USA, and Ukraine. For destroying it's Nuclear weapons (some 1,700 warheads in total, the third largest in the world, then and now) Russia along with the other two countries granted certain security guarantees to Ukraine. These included this, which I quote from that famous Russian site Wikipedia :
"1. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.
2. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
3. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.
4. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.
5. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm, in the case of Ukraine, their commitment not to use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a State in association or alliance with a nuclear-weapon State.
6. Ukraine, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America will consult in the event a situation arises that raises a question concerning these commitments.
— Memorandum on Security Assurances in Connection with Ukraine’s Accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons"
Do please note Number 1 on tht list!!
As you ca see Russia guaranteed the borders and country of Ukrane, but it has since 1994 invaded Ukraine, a sovereign country twice to which it gave supposedly cast iron guarantees. Putin, and Russia have no honesty, they are happy only when they get what they want, which is to expand the Russian borders to natural boundaries that are difficult to cross or attack, thus westward the would really like Russia to end on the Spanish border, but several rather influential countries say no.
Finally with your graspof Geopolitics (no idea at all) I think you shouldn't even bother writing on YouTube any more unless your grasp of military, and geopolitics grows exponentially in the next 24 hours, and it really won't.

@Arterexius It is their ultimate goal. They need Kherson, and it is in reach. Full stop. I didm't reply to you in anger if I had, I would have made so amy mistakes that you wouldn't have understood what I wrote at all. Why did you add a J to Zelenskyy? LOL!!
Ok so Ukraine has somehow magically invented it's whole army, and airforce. In the biginnig they had just Russin Soviet era equipment. 90% of the equipment they use now is Russian bulit, and from the soviet era, Get off that high horse of yours, and stop trying to kid yourself that russia is fighting an equal in any way here. Ukraine are using Western/British equipment, and some American weapons. It takes a while to kick start an industry, and longer to get weapons transfered from one country to another. As this goes on More, and More western modern equipment will arrive, but as for now they have 4 Himars, 6 British MLRS, and 2 US MLRS.. That dioesn't even make a dent in the Russian front line.
War doesn't bring trade? Are you honestly trying top say that here, and now, Both Britiain and the USA have got their defence industries producing equipment at a rate not seen since Afgahnistan, and Iraq. Wow boy are you short sighted, and have seriously no idea here.
Ice breakers? Why would Ukraine need Ice breakers? It doesn't have winter bound ports like Russia. If you are going to suggest the Russian fleet in valdivostock could break an American blockade in the middle using ice breakers to create a route through the ice then seriously there is no furhter discussion to be had here. That is possibly the stupidest military analysis statement ever made in the world!! Saint Petersburg is also Ice bound in winter, no ice breaker helps the Russian fleet to run the Skagerak, and break into the north sea, Mumansk is ice bound in winter, and takes many ice breakers to keep it or any of the other Russian ports operating on a single route in, and out.
If Crimea isn't necessary why on fuller's earth did Russia invade Crimea go on this i have to see!! Sevastopol is the largest balck sea port, and at the moment the largest Russian port even though it is illegally occupied, and will become Ukrainian again. Now please don't reply with the level of stupidity you just did, I will not reply if you do. Finally do a little bit of research on just how thick the ice is in the main Russian ports in the winter.
Now as I said unless your geopolitical knowledge rises exponentially in the next 24 hours you sewriously aren't worth spending time on answering your questions, ans even sillier statements!!
