The US have have been a nightmare for Ukraine, obstructive and unreliable. The European allies have slowly stepped up, but it’s been painful.

As dependence on the US has reduced, you can see the Ukrainian attacks increase in number, range and audacity.

Distant targets are getting hit. This week shipping had been hit hard, and the Crimea has taken a lot of damage. Bridges and logistics.

It’s all happening. Keep an eye on https://old.reddit.com/r/ukraine/

It’s a heavily skewed perspective but it if often accurate.

> But it also stands to ask, why isn't the bridge being constantly targeted? What factors are weighing ukrainian decisionmaking to not simply strike the hell out of this bridge until it falls?

This is a spitball, but there are several hundred thousand ethnic Ukrainians in Crimea. Even if the Ukrainian war machine wanted to commit genocide (unclear if this is true or not, at least to me), they would be at least partially genociding their own people.
