The “ground route” from the Russian Federation to Crimea has been shelled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces 22 times over the past month
Settlements located along the “land route” from Russia to Crimea in the occupied parts of the Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine were shelled at least 22 times over the past 30 days, Vorstka found out.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces most often hit the “ temporary capital ” of the occupied part of the Zaporozhye region, Melitopol (six times), the port of Berdyansk located on the shores of the Azov Sea (at least seven times), as well as Mariupol (three times) . In addition, those located either directly on the route or in close proximity to it were Genichesk, Rykovo, Novoalekseevka, Yakimovka and Urzuf.

After the explosion on the Kerch Bridge on July 17, the road through these settlements will soon become the only road route connecting the Russian Federation and Crimea.
According to the Yandex. Maps,” the distance “overland” between Rostov-on-Don, the last Russian regional center before the occupied territories, and the resort on the southern coast of Crimea - Yalta - is about 700 km. Now the service does not lay a single route between these two cities, “losing the road” near the Chongar Bridge, which was blown up by a missile attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces almost a month ago and has already been restored.
The danger of coming under fire is not the only problem for tourists. Russians who have traveled along this route say in telegram chats that immediately after the checkpoint on the border of the Rostov region and the DPR, the mobile Internet completely disappears. Travelers can expect to travel directly through Mariupol, where “every second house has been destroyed” and this is “not a picture for children,” high fuel prices (on average 4 rubles per liter higher than in Russia), poor quality of roads and checkpoints on them, as well as a large number of military personnel with equipment .
