military transportation for supplies to the country's defense plants. at the end of last year , the head of the zaporizhzhya region stated that just one constructed thermal traction track would make it possible to solve all military problems. according to experts, the new railway route could run from donetsk through. mariupol, berdyansk and akimovka, however this is not the only option. another option is go directly, for example, from taganrog, yes, especially since there is now a federal highway there, and thus we are basically saying that it is more logical to bring the railway closer to the existing highway, which goes through new regions, because this makes it easier transport logistics, this facilitates supply, this is, first of all , supply: industrial, military supply, supply of consumer goods, yes, that is, it is pure freight, classical logistics, the total length

of railway... tracks in new regions exceeds 6,000 km, but now they are almost never used. according to the governor of the zaporozhye region, the new railway will solve the issue of exporting grain, iron ore, scrap, coal and other goods. under sanctions, crimean enterprises export their products to the cis countries, the middle east and asia. these are mainly goods from the food industry and agro-industrial complex. if we are talking about zaporozhye, then about melitopol. region and surrounding areas, then here, of course, the main focus is on agriculture, it is clear that everything by road transport, well, we can list for quite a long time, so to speak, those agriculture, first of all, of course , grain, yes, but a large number of fruits and vegetables that are produced in this area of ​​​​the zaporozhye region, and it’s quite difficult to bring everything by road transport, so the appearance of this the railway

route will seriously enhance... the development of agriculture. the flow of vacationers in crimea has increased by more than one and a half times over the past 10 years. the head of the region, sergei, spoke about this aksenov. at the end of last year , more than 5 million people visited the republic. more than 400 beaches have already been improved. the crimean trail has grown by 100 km. there are 32 special sanatoriums. and this year crimea will receive a subsidy of 142 million rubles. which will go towards the development of tourism. however, after the cessation of air traffic , the tourist flow began to decline. in 2023, 14% of tourists arrived in crimea via the land route through new regions. this summer , authorities will increase the number of inspection points on the crimean bridge to avoid traffic jams. and experts say that development railway communication will have a positive impact on this situation, on the tourism industry of the region as a whole, not to mention the economy. any construction site is similar.

which is going on today in new regions, it, well, actually gives, if you take it at the regional level, well, it gives up to 20-30% of the gross regional product, this is if you take the conditionally old regions, as today the reconstruction of bama and transiva is going on, and if you take new regions, then i suspect that up to 50% of the points of the regional product will appear, will be added due to this construction, in early spring... that the railway station in mariupol could be operational by the end of this year, vladimir putin announced the launch of high-speed highways that will reach donetsk and lugansk.
