Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the restoration and development of significant transportation links to Crimea, including a new road and a 450-mile railway system. The road between Berdyansk and Mariupol, now restored, will serve as an alternative route to Crimea, complementing the existing Crimean bridge. Additionally, a railway from Rostov-on-Don through Donetsk, Berdyansk, and Melitopol to Crimea is under development, with plans to extend it to Sevastopol. These projects aim to bolster Russia's strategic goals, including a land corridor to Transnistria and control over agricultural exports through remaining ports. The railway, designed as a backup supply line for troops in case the Kerch bridge is destroyed, is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2024, enhancing the supply lines for troops and the development of new territories.
