Quote: “The occupiers are trying to build direct rail links with Mariupol, Volnovakha and Donetsk.

Now they’re not only talking about it, they have started to build a railway bridge near the village of Hranitne over the Kalmius River.”

Details: Andriushchenko said that if successful, this will allow the existing Mariupol-Aslanove-Kalchyk-Volnovakha line to be connected directly to Taganrog and Rostov-on-Don in Russia.

In reality, this is not only a global solution to the issue of Russia’s military and civilian logistics, but also a radical reduction in dependence on the railway connection via the Crimean Bridge.
