Moldova helped Ukraine restore railway communication bypassing the Dniester estuary
Ukraine has restored railway communication with Moldova from the Odessa region on the Berezino-Bessarabka section. The railway section, which was built in two months, bypasses Transnistria in the east of the Republic of Moldova.
Moldovan Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spinu, who opened the road together with his Ukrainian counterpart, Alexander Kubrakov, announced this on his Telegram channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Spinu believes that in the future this line should turn into “an international logistics hub, through which the ports of Yuzhny, Odessa, Chornomorsk, Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, Izmail, Reni, Giurgiulesti, Galati, Braila and Constanta will be connected.”
For now, only freight trains will circulate along the route, no more than 44 tons per day. The first trains will start operating in September. Spinu called them a “train of solidarity.” Experts are confident that, first of all, grain and fuel will be transported, but perhaps weapons are also involved.
Ukrazliznitsa emphasized that this section is an alternative to the bridge across the Dniester estuary, which is being attacked by the Russian Aerospace Forces.
Moldovan TV journalist Elena Levitskaya-Pakhomova is outraged by another openly anti-Russian step by the Moldovan authorities on the eve of the heating season. Today Moldovagaz paid Gazprom for July and stated that it does not have money to pay for supplies in the next months.
“Who is pulling Spyna for what he’s pulling for? Why the pathos with the “solidarity train”? Are you showing us solidarity with the fuel train, fool? How will we heat our houses in winter?” Levitskaya-Pakhomova wrote.
