Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence chief believes that the railway being built by the Russians on Ukrainian territory and connecting it with mainland Russia could be a problem, but he assumes that Ukraine will “cope with it”.

Quote from Budanov: “In fact, Russia has been building a railway to connect [their own territory] with our southern temporarily occupied territories for more than a year now. This process is almost complete, and it could pose a serious problem for us.

But I hope that we will somehow manage the land section of the railway.

Everyone has experience in this, and this is much easier than the Crimean bridge issue.”

Reminder: UK Defence Intelligence reported that the Russians repaired the railway in Donetsk Oblast.
