The #Russians have completed and launched a new railroad from #Rostov to occupied #Mariupol through #Hranitne/#Malovodne, #Mariupol mayor's adviser #Andryushchenko said.

"This can dramatically change the situation on the front because of the #Russians' improved logistics. We are not talking about "alternative to the #Crimean_bridge." This is an independent autonomous branch, which now has greater capacity and power than the bridge," he said.
