Ukraine’s spy boss has said that Russia has deployed one of its S-500 air defense systems to the occupied Crimean Peninsula to protect the Kerch Bridge.Lt. Gen Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Directorate, said in an interview with Ukrainian media, “The Russian air defense system is being strengthened. This is quite obvious and understandable. The newest elements of the S-500 have appeared.
