#Russians have launched a full-fledged railroad connection #Rostov_on_Don – #Mariupol – #Volnovakha – #Donetsk, the #Mariupol City Council reported.

#Russians built the railroad to shorten the route for delivering military equipment to the front from #Rostov_on_Don to #Mariupol and #Volnovakha. Next, the railroad will be extended to #Crimea.

The new railroad line is supposed to simplify military logistics and reduce the #Russian army's dependence on the #Crimean_bridge.
