Russia is building a railroad that will connect Mariupol and Donetsk with Rostov-on-Don
If launched, it will allow Russia to transfer weapons to Ukraine and reduce dependence on the Crimean bridge.
An adviser to the Ukrainian mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andriushchenko, said in a telegram that Russia is building a new railroad that will connect the occupied cities of Mariupol, Volnovakha and Donetsk with Russia.
According to him, the construction of a railroad bridge near the village of Hranitne across the Kalmius River has begun.
Andriushchenko emphasized that if the railroad is built, it will allow Russia to transport military and civilian cargo to the occupied territory in southern Ukraine and reduce dependence on the Crimean bridge.
"If successful, this will allow the existing Mariupol – Aslanovo – Kalchyk – Volnovakha line to be connected directly to Taganrog and Rostov-on-Don. In practice, this is not only a global solution to the issue of military and civilian logistics, but also a radical reduction in dependence on railroad traffic across the Crimean bridge," Andriushchenko said.
