Our source reports that today at a meeting with Zelenskyy, a possible response to Russia's campaign against Ukrainian bridges was discussed separately. Bankova is considering a mirror-image approach to pressure: shifting attacks to Russia's transport infrastructure to show Moscow the cost of further escalation.

According to the source, this is not about symbolic, isolated attacks, but a political strategy for putting pressure on the most sensitive transport arteries and hubs. Zelenskyy is demanding that the security bloc prepare options that would create comparable logistical problems for Russia while simultaneously demonstrating Ukraine's ability to respond to the changing nature of the war.

Meanwhile, a debate continues within the Presidential Office about the consequences of such a strategy. Some meeting participants warn that a shift to a systemic exchange of strikes against transport infrastructure could completely remove the previous constraints and trigger a new level of escalation, with bridges and logistics hubs on both sides becoming permanent targets. For Zelenskyy, the response's impact is crucial now: Bankova doesn't want to let Russia's anti-bridge campaign go unnoticed by a politically visible response. Therefore, the long-range mission is being given new tasks, while the negotiating mission is trying to preserve space for de-escalation.
