Russians build fortifications on Mariupol-Donetsk highway

This was reported by the city council of Ukrainian Mariupol on Telegram and published a video, Ukrinform reports.

“The invaders continue to build fortifications near the village of Hranitne in the area of the Mariupol-Donetsk highway. In addition, the Russians continue to supply military equipment and manpower to the north of the Donetsk region,” the statement said.

It is noted that the occupiers also continue to try to build a railroad from Russia from Rostov-on-Don to Mariupol, and then they plan to run it to Crimea.

“A new railroad line in the “deep rear” should simplify military logistics and reduce the Russian army's dependence on the Crimean bridge. The guerrillas have repeatedly carried out sabotage activities, but the occupiers continue construction,” the city council said.

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