explosion of the only bridge connecting russia with the annexed territory of crimea. now, the blast partially collapsed the kerch bridge and paralyzed a key supply route from moscow s faltering war in ukraine. but this bridge isn t just logistically important, it s also a huge symbol for the kremlin in its attempt to reunify crimea with the russian mainland. ukraine has not claimed responsibility for this, but after the blast in kyiv, people can be seen taking selfies in front of a billboard depicting the image of the bridge on fire. that s not the only thing you re seeing from ukraine mocking the explosion. fred pleitgen joins us now. fred is in kyiv. he has the latest developments. what are you hearing, fred, about who s behind this explosion. reporter: yeah, well, the russians are moving very quickly to point the finger of blame at the ukrainians. this is quite interesting because i ve been following a lot of telegram channels coming out of russia. a lot of top russian

and let s start with lucas tomlinson at the white house for us. good afternoon. the bus trips are a message to the president, democrats and even vice-president who claim the border is secure. the border is not secure and you need to help us stop this. i don t care what crying, let them cry in their beer all day long, and the people of martha vineyard s what a bunch of elitist hypocrites they are. and buses were dropping off in washington, and massachusetts avenue for the second time, and today, which happens to be constitution day, more migrants are sent as well. the white house is reeling from florida governor ron desantis sending a plane of migrants to martha s vineyard. they were misled where they were headed told they would be headed to boston, misled what they would be provided when they arrived, promised shelter, refuge, benefits and more. these are the kinds of tactics that we see from smugglers in places like mexico and guatemala. of course, you re in the ro
