Chongar

Chonhar is a village in Ukraine in the Kherson region, on the Chonhar Peninsula; it is the largest settlement on the peninsula and the last village before Crimea.

Chonhar was demined before Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. There is still no answer to the question of who demined Chonhar. But it was precisely thanks to this that Russia was able to quickly occupy the South.

The village of Chonhar was temporarily occupied by Russian troops on February 24, 2022.

What condition the Chonhar Bridge is in

On the morning of June 22, 2023, it became known that several bridges between the Kherson region and the temporarily occupied peninsula had been hit. The Chonhar Bridge was also hit. It is through this bridge that the Russians transfer military equipment and forces to the Kherson region.

On June 10, 2026, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andrii Kovalenko, stated that the Chonhar Bridge had been destroyed as a result of Ukraine's attacks. Russia stopped traffic across the bridge.

According to OSINT channels, as of October 6, 2026, the Chongar Bridge has been destroyed.
