MOSCOW, March 3 (RIA Novosti) Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed an order Monday to construct a bridge linking Russia to Ukraines Crimean peninsula.
The bridge would span the 4.5-kilometer Strait of Kerch, which separates Ukraine and Russia, an estimated $3 billion project that has been under discussion for a decade.
Russian troops have fanned out across the Crimean peninsula in recent days, seizing strategic locations and reportedly digging trenches at an emerging border with Ukraine.
