He noted that Hranitne is becoming the main logistical 'artery' for the occupiers to supply the frontline through the settlements: Volnovakha - Vuhledar - Kurakhove direction - Donetsk thanks to road and rail bridges.

As reported, the Russian invaders are turning Mariupol and the surrounding villages into a military and logistics hub.
