But as one of the president’s confidants, there was little the opponents could do. This emerges in an analysis in the American magazine Politico. They already wrote in June that Bakanov was going to be fired. According to the magazine, Russian soldiers were able to take the city because soldiers from the security services had not blown up the Antonovskiy bridge, which crosses the river Dnipro. This allowed Russian forces to enter the city.
