55. Even the land route has bridges

That's what Ukraine's been blowing up lately. Their whole strategy is to completely cut off the limited number of routes into Crimea, all of which are controlled by Russia as of now. Even if Russia withdraws Ukraine will have to rebuild bridges just to move in, so Russia will likely be able to do the same thing to keep Ukraine out too.
