"Works only in one plot": the Russian Federation has not completed the construction of the railway in occupation - Pletenchuk

According to the speaker of the South Defense Forces, the alternative to the Crimean bridge is a legitimate target for the Ukrainian side, because the enemy intends to use railway for military logistics. The Armed Forces have all the possibilities and means to destroy it. The railway of Russians in the Ukrainian occupied territories, which they built as an alternative to the Crimean bridge, works only on one segment. It does not function completely.

Dmitry Pletenchuk, the head of the Center for Strategic Communications of South Defense Forces in a comment to Ukrinform, shared the details. According to him, the illegal structure of the enemy he intends to use for military logistics is a legitimate fortune for Ukraine. Moreover, the Armed Forces fighters have enough opportunities to destroy this railway.

"This corridor has not been fully worked, it really does not connect Crimea with other occupied territories in the south of Ukraine, the railway is just being built. It is built quickly enough, and indeed, the Russians plan to use it primarily to ensure the military logistics In order to smoothly supply everything necessary for fighting. Separately, the representative of the south defense forces added that in Russia there is now a plan to tie Rostov and the captured Crimea with this route.

The urgent need for this arose after the illegal bridge on the occupied peninsula stopped providing military logistics in full. The Ukrainian side is closely monitoring the situation, as the railway is located closer than the structure through the Gulf of Kerch. It is easier to get to it. "Of course, this part of the railway, this logistics path will be closer to the line of combat collision.

On the one hand, it facilitates the logistics of our enemy, on the other - it facilitates the task of destroying this tool. Because the range of our tools, our weapons systems, our instruments, our weapons systems. Of course, much larger in this context than for the destruction of the bridge, ”Dmitry Pletenchuk summed up. We will remind, on May 8 it was reported that the Russian Federation almost finished the construction of the railway, which will connect Mariupol with Rostov-on-Don.
